HOT DAMN!  Worked a treat!  Muchias gracias!  I've been diddling with 
BT keyboards on 770/800 for a YEAR, on and off.  Finally, one works.  
Especially nice is that the N800 display lights when a BT keyboard key 
is pressed.

I find that the N800/BusyBox does not have wget.  Not seeing a real 
easy way to download kbdd.tar.gz in a term on the  N800, I downloaded 
to a Ubuntu box using wget and then used the N800's mc to copy it over 
with "Shell Link".  From there, everything went exactly as advertised.

I wonder what's wrong the the "out of the box" setup?

I wonder if I can now get my big microsoft brand BT keyboard to work?

Perhaps going onward through the fog without consulting manual or doing 
basic google search? ;-)

I encountered that error a few times too... Sorry, I forgot to mention
that.  Sounds like our experiences are identical-- I just hope you get
the best of it like I did.

Thanks for the comments.  After reading them, I discovered that I could 
specify a "passcode".  I tried again, this time with a "passcode" of 
 to make the typing go faster.  Now, instead of "Authentication 
failed", I get "Device resources exceeded".  Also tried a single digit 
passcode of "9".  It now seems random whether I get "resources 
exceeded" or "Authentication failed".

Come on, someone out there, either there is something I don't 
understand about BT "pairing" or there is a bug.  Someone tell me!

I encountered the same problem with my Nokia bt keyboard and the N800.
Took something like 20 tries to get past the authentication, but I was
eventually successful.  Note that I only used 4 characters of my own
choosing.  Definitely seemed to be a timing issue.
