N900 Rolodex© machine

"An Arduino connected to the Rolodex© detects the position of the wheel and sends that information over Bluetooth to the N900. Each position indicates a specific contact. A Python script receives the incoming information and uses the xtst library to emulate the key presses and screen touches that would be necessary to view that contact and, when you touch the screen of the phone, to place a call."

i could make something better

but my arduino doesnt support interaction with my n810 :(

[VDVlinux]

Why not ? The communication is Bluetooth based, the same project will run on the n810 without any modification ;) (exception for the phone part, of course)

thumbs up if Gabriel Iglesias brought you here.

That fu had a roladex

off course n810 can act as usb host but i dont have the exact module for my serial - usb converter

That's great to know you *could* make something better, but have you? think N810 can act as USB host so this hack using serial over USB is certainly possible.
