(keitai-l) about external keyboards for i-mode phones

From: rolf van widenfelt <rolf_at_pizzicato.com> Date: 04/30/01 Message-ID: <3AED0BC8.4B5D4494@pizzicato.com>

i am trying to find out more about controlling an i-mode phone
from an external keyboard.
two models i have looked at support some kind of external keyboard (i-board),
namely NEC (N503i) and Panasonic (P503i).
perhaps there are others, but has anyone tried these?
is it possible to control everything about the phone from the external keyboard?

does anyone know where i can find out more about
the serial protocol that these external keyboards use?
i imagine that there are some "keitai otaku" sites (probably in japanese).

thanks!
