Default connecting bluetooth keyboard

I have a dell bluetooth keyboard that I want to use with my tilt. It is computer keyboard and is not meant to be used with windows mobile, but from reading about the various other keyboards people have got working on Windows Mobile I figure it should work.

When I go to connect it asks me for the passcode, I tried 0000 and 1234 then I tried with a blank space and it worked. I finish the bluetooth connection wizard and a notification comes up (). If I select no, the keyboard does not work so I do it again and say yes and it asks me for for a passcode once again. This time I am not allowed to click next without entering a passcode. I tried several passwords and they said incorrect passcode or other error. Is this impossible? is the correct passcode one of the codes on the back of the keyboard?

here are the details on the keyboard I am using:

After you type in a passcode on your PDA, you have to type in a passcode on your keyboard and then press enter. A passcode is something you assign to your keyboard so that only you can use it; therefore, it isn't something that dell assigns. Just make something up (e.g. "1234").

If you have more problems, read your instructions - the process is basically outlined in there: http://support.dell.com/support/edoc...N/en/setup.htm

I hope someone can help me. I have a mini bluetooth keyboard. It pairs and works with my ipod, laptop and archos 70. I bought it, however, to use with my Samsung Galaxy Ace..and tho it paired, it connects and immediately disconnects. I installed the bluekeyboard Jp so it was finally in the settings. my question is..both my archos 70 and Ace are running on Froyo 2.2.1 yet it works on the Archos and not the Ace..could someone please give me any idea why it immediately disconnects so I know what to do next?
Thank you guys..look forward to any advice xx
