Universal as a Bluetooth Keyboard?

[sle118]

Hello everyone.

That's it. My "good" old Universal finally gave way to a brand new HTC Touch Diamond, as I changed phone provider. Since I am always reluctant to sell my old toys, I am trying to recycle the beast into something usefull.

The great thing about the touch diamond is that it is relatively small compared to the Uni, which makes it handy to carry around as the main phone. The down side of this is that typing on the touch screen isn't the most efficient input method around.

I am looking at various options like the virtual keyboard (a laser projected keyboard), a stowaway keyboard or other bluetooth options. They are expensive, though.

This is why I am writing this email: is there a known tool that would allow me to use the Universal as a bluetooth keyboard emulator? I have looked at Remote Commander (http://www.pebbles.hcii.cmu.edu/software/remotecmd/index.php), but it can only control a PC, which is not what I am looking for.

Please send your comments!

Thank you!!

Ohh i see. so you want to use the (big) keyboard on the universal to type out stuff to your htc touch diamond?

I dont know how you would do off hand. But thats an interesting idea. On the first glance though i wouldnt gain much benifit from the universal keyboard anyway maybe 2 times quicker. But if i did get the full size keybaord i could type maybe 10 times faster. But i see your point though that bluetooth keyboards are expenive. You could bit the bullet and sell your universal for exchange for a bluetooth keyboard (I would get a stowaway mainly because i touch type and you cant do it with a laser keyboard)

If you find a way to use your universal as a keyboard let me know how it turns out. Im pretty intrested on how it would work.
