xkbdbthid_0.1-1_arm.deb xkbd-bthid see screenshot and a much nicer one is here (Maemo2.0 xkbdbthid_0.1-1_armel.deb, Maemo 3.0/Bora/N800 xkbdbthid_0.1-2_armel.deb)

This is a software Bluetooth keyboard it turns your Nokia770 into a Bluetooth HID keyboard. Full details at the xkbdbthid site.

Install notes:
1) install the package via the package manager
2) open xterm
3) become root
4) chown root.root /var/lib/install/usr/bin/xkbdbthidwrapper (/usr/bin/xkbdbthidwrapper on IT2006)
5) chmod +s /var/lib/install/usr/bin/xkbdbthidwrapper

This is required since the package manager can't do this for us, why not?
It's the fifth software down from where 'Software' section starts on the home page: http://www.mulliner.org/nokia770/ . Works fine for the most part... The GUI could use a little spicing up, but this is as simple as the keyboard can get with this little package.
