Dell Axim bluetooth keyboard/iGo Stowaway with a Nokia N95

So my oldest son was playing with my old Dell Axim “Executive Keyboard” that I had with a X50v a few years back. Hey, idea. Hook it up to my cell phone.

The device on expansys.

Link to the driver from that site

Install to the phone on OSX with the Nokia Multimedia Transfer app.

Run the app on the phone via file manager. Connect via bluetooth.

One tip - if you want a “secure” connection you need to setup a passcode between the two devices. That means a) ensure the green light is blipping on the keyboard (ctrl-fn(blue)-fn(green)). b) on the phone when you’re prompted to enter a passcode enter something like “1234″, hit ok and immediately c) on the keyboard using fn(blue) hit “1234″ and then “enter” to make the pairing.

Shaboom - no longer limited to the cell phone keyboard when I need to respond to an email.
