gletham writes "This article gives details of a nifty project where the developer shares his story of the development of an IrDA keyboard driver packaged for the Nokia 3650 phone. It supports the Pocketop and the Palm Wireless Keyboard. Source code is available for download and even better, the driver has also been ported to the P800 as well... very cool!"

    Wake me up when they have a Bluetooth keyboard driver.

    I guess this is neat from a purely technical standpoint, but it doesn't seem too practical to me; the 3650's IR port is on it's left side, which means that any kind of IR keyboard would be pretty tough to use. BT seems like a much more useful technology in this application.
