Nokia 6230i handset doubles as a Bluetooth mouse?

Nokia_mouseOK, before you run out for a Nokia "mouse-phone", bear in mind that this took a little hacking and isn’t quite perfect just yet. A little Java code when combined with a makeshift driver got "Pyrofer’s" Nokia phone working as a Bluetooth mouse, using the CCD of the camera as the mouse sensor. You can’t yet slide the phone directly on a flat surface; the CCD needs some light after all and we’re guessing the DPI of the hack-a-mouse is on the low end. Still, you can’t fault someone for bringing a little extra convergence into their mobile lifestyle.
