Full keyboard for my … mobile

Posted by chengfu on 25 Sep 2007 3:23 pm. Filed under Misc Stuff.

There are moments when you realize your are nerdy: I finally ordered a foldable bluetooth keyboard for my Nokia E65 mobile. It features a holder for the mobile so that you don’t have to put the phone beside the keyboard. I just hope it will fit into my trousers and I won’t have to carry around my sidekick to have ssh available. Now I only got to find a blog editor for j2me or symbian.

That is the Gentoo QA teams opinion about app-arch/rpm2targz-9.0-r5.
