    Hi guys,
    So I have a Bluetooth enabled cell phone (Nokia 5610) and I want to use it as a PowerPoint controller for my upcoming Grad Presentation (High School) so that it looks better than me having to turn away from the people I am presenting to and have to change slides.

    So anyways...I have the phone and my computer connected via Bluetooth but I am stuck in trying to find how to use the phone as a controller.

    Any help?

    Thanks :)

    Try Salling Clicker. I dont know about Java version but I use it with WM and Symbian and its great. You can probably get "testing version" if youll ask google for something like: >> "salling clicker" rapidshare.com <<.

    for bluetooth:

    nokia wireless presenter:
    download

    psiloc wireless presenter:

    I known there's much more free software to do it. I've use it many times but I can't remember well.

    I've also used this:
    download

    but there's more. I've even used my nokia n80 like a bluetooth mouse (using the camera).
