Default Got a Bluetooth keyboard?

I have a bluetooth keyboard which I use daily for my computer. Today I just tried hooking it up to my phone on a whim because a guy at work was talking about bluetooth capabilities. And, what do you know. It worked. There's nothing special about this keyboard. It's a standard logitech keyboard. However, I do have my iPhone jailbroken, so I'm not sure if i've installed some special software which allows this to work.



So, if you have a bluetooth keyboard, try hooking it to your phone. See if it works. I'd like to know if this works on a standard iPhone or Android out-of-box or any other phone with bluetooth capabilities for that matter.

Just thought I'd post a picture. It's actually quite comfortable to do work like this.

You can enter contact info or just use the Internet with a touchscreen and keyboard. It is an accessory to a phone which can turn it into a mobile workstation. Google docs or email when in the car with just a keyboard. On a phone I type about 10wpm. On a full keyboard I can almost reach 120wpm. That is more then 10x productivity.
