If you are often frustrated with the small dpad keys that is on some Nokia devices, you will find this useful. I got a small gift from the people at Zeemote, I got their Bluetooth mobile gaming controller, also known as ZEEMOTE. This is Compatible with every Nseries and Eseries device, and also with the Navigators and Xpress Music phones that runs S60.

As the description on the box say, “this controller will connect with your device using Blue-tooth” The design is very ergonomic, It fits seamlessly in the hand and has a soft touch material. At the top there is a small joystick which is smooth enough, but it’s a tad small. Just below the joystick there is a D button which work as turn/off  if you press it long enough.

On the front there are two other buttons, “A and B” which will work as the soft-keys. On the bottom you will find the C button which is deep in the body of the zeemote. This button works as the cancel or back  soft-key.So that’s the reason for it to be embossed deeply, so you don’t click it by accident. You can do a different manual mapping, if you like.

The zeemote has a small blue light that will blink until its connects to the device. To connect it to your device you have to download an application from the Zeemote website, install on the phone. Then you have to turn on the Bluetooth on the device, and then application will ask you to connect to the zeemote. A long press the D button and it will connect to your phone. Easy enough but it can be improved. The Zeemote app should activate the Bluetooth when prompted to connect, instead of having to turn it on manually.

I have found it very usful when playing Ngage games, “I don’t have to be using the small keypad keys on my phone to play games” thanks to the zeemote. You can also control every menu on the cellphone, and browse every application there. But do you want to know what is the best use for this? You can hook up your Nseries to you TV using the TVout feature, making a bigger gaming experience. I tried this the other day, I was playing Ngage with my N85 and using the Zeemote as a wireless controller enhancing my gaming experience. I also tried some NES emulators and it was GREAT. And to make this better, the Zeemote people included a code for a free game from their library. This can also work on PowerPoint presentations or with the browser.

So, make your cellphone a complete computer/gaming console and try the ZEEMOTE. You will love it.
