looks like the phone has both keyboard and the mouse part. do you know 
if phone sends mouse events (if you move joystick i guess)? how about 
running 'hcidump' while pressing buttons on the phone?

> # bthidcontrol -a phone query > /etc/bluetooth/bthidd.conf
> 
> # bthidd -d
> <select 'control external device' on my phone>
> bthidd[786]: Accepted control connection from 00:0f:de:78:93:d8
> bthidd[786]: Accepted interrupt connection from 00:0f:de:78:93:d8

that looks fine. it means there is a hid session between phone and the 
computer. please use hcidump to see if there is any hid events going 
from the phone.

there wont be any device. the mouse part *might* work. btw try to run 
bthidd on console (not on xterm).

thanks,
