Using a mobile as a bluetooth remote

[ChrisSoutham]

First posting, hope it's in the right place!
I've enjoyed the wonders of my Mac mini for a long while now, and now with a video iPod I'm converting a lot of video media.
Last night I installed FrontRow - which is great fun, but now I need a remote so I can lie in bed and use it! I've had a look on the Apple site and I don't think the new Apple Remote is suitable, you can only control the iPod with it combined with a universal dock (am I right?).

I have a Motorola RAZR v3, and wondered if it was possible use this as a remote via bluetooth? Has anyone tried it?
It seems like an ideal solution, but if not, can anyone recommend a suitable good remote?

Thanks,
Chris

Does the RAZR work with Salign Clicker? If so then does Front Row expose a usefull AppleScript dictionary? If yes to both you are in business

Yeah use salling clicker its amazing (You need to do quite a bit of scripting though )

Well Salling Clicker doesn't support the V3 but I could use my old P800.
Looks like SC has a sticky topic on the forums related to FrontRow - someone's already written the scripts

I know for sure you can use Sony Ericsson phones as a remote control via iSync... not too sure about Motorolla phones..

Has anyone used SailingClicker with Sony Ericsson phones?
When i try to use it, it says the script isn't recognizable in Terminal... or something along those lines..

if you don't/can't shell out for Salling Clicker, Salling also offers free remote control profiles for a few apps (although only new-ish SonyEricsson phones come with this feature).
