Most Ericsson phones have a builtin Bluetooth Remote Control feature, and you can make your own "remotes" for it using this official Sony Ericsson program: http://developer.sonyericsson.com/site/global/docstools/misc/p_misc.jsp However, this program is buggy, and you can write your own scripts from scratch using a sort of XML. Here is the one that I made: Read the readme at the link above for detailed instructions on how to do this. I know this works on almost all Ericssons, but probably not on other brands.

The same key can then be set to just esc when Front Row is the active application, so that it brings you up a level in the menu selections, just as the Apple Remote does. One problem I'm having though, and this happens even when trying to use the keyboard's cursor keys, is that I crash when trying to fast forward or rewind video.
