Setting up the Nokia N82 with a Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard - May 23, 2008
Occasionally in classes I find that there’s a need to take electronic notes – and what better tool is there than with my trusty N82? Paired up with a Bluetooth keyboard, it’s quite a mighty mobile device to take notes in – you can type just as quick as you do on the desktop, and data can be preserved and accessed on the go.
Although Nokia offers its own SU-8W Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard for Nokia S60 and S40 devices, it’s very costly and limited in availability. It’s not available even at the Nokia flagship store here in Hong Kong.
After some testing with a friend at the computer mall, it turns out that you can pair a Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard with the Nokia N82, N95, or any of the S60 devices – as long as the Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard supports the HID profile. Just follow the instructions below to get started:
Get the Nokia Wireless Keyboard software for S60 v3.1 devices. Install it on your phone.Turn Bluetooth on from the Bluetooth menu on your phone.Open up the Wireless Keyboard application from Menu >> Tools >> Connectivity >> Wireless Keyboard. Click on “Find Keyboard” and then follow the instructions provided by the Keyboard instruction manual to get your Keyboard to pair with your phone.And there you go – the Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard will be paired with your phone. If you’ve got any questions on setting this up or any questions on which brand of keyboard to get, feel free to email me.
