Celluon BT Virtual Keyboard
 

I was totally caught up in the gadget lust and bought the Celluon cl-850, hoping to use it with my n800. I believed I had seen a demo with someone using the laser projected keyboard with their internet tablet, but since I can't get mine to work I'm beginning to think they were using a different keyboard.

I am able to get my n800 to pair with the projection keyboard, but it is seen as a mobile phone, not a BT keyboard. The CD that comes with the Celluon cl-850 has drivers for Blackberry, Windows, and Symbian for Nokia smartphones. I'm a graphic designer, not a techie, so any assistance from the boards on getting this to work would be really appreciated. I'd love to take the setup with me to FlashForward this month.

I think most of people use the i-tech laser keyboard but I am not sure.

of all the idiotic things. how come there are still companies that use something else then HID in their bluetooth keyboards?!

Yes, looks like this one doesn't work with the NIT:

Crap crap crap, otherwise a cool device

Re: Celluon BT Virtual Keyboard
 

I don't own this lovely kb but on Nokia devices, all keyboards must be specified. I remember vaguely on the tablets, Control Panel>Hardware keyboard under OS2007 (or Bluetooth keyboard under OS2008) > Generic 105 keys PC.

Then go Control Panel and add/pair it as a new Bluetooth device.

Hope my 2 cents helps.

Re: Celluon BT Virtual Keyboard
 

Thanks for the suggestion, but I had already tried that route. The problem seems to be that the Celluon requires specific drivers. The n800 will pair with it as a Bluetooth device, but without the drivers it is listed as a Phone, and will not pair in the Keyboard section of the Control Panel.

I've written to Nokia and will post whatever reply I get from tech support.

Re: Celluon BT Virtual Keyboard
 

I've had an official response from Nokia. The email is not really helpful, but the short answer is the Celluon cl-850 is not going to work with the n800. Tech support says:

Too bad. Cool piece of equipment.

Re: Celluon BT Virtual Keyboard
 

is there not some variant out there that use HID?

ah yes, found it:

this one is listed with HID support :)

ah, i see now that when using HID there is no way to set things like the light level of the keyboard. what a silly thing to do in software! some buttons on the outside would have done the trick wonderfully!

Try With your keyboard's MAC, of course. It's just possible that it's either a HID or SPP keyboard, with an additional protocol alongside for control, and that is confusing the N8x0?
