How to Use a Bluetooth Keyboard with iPhone 4

Sure, the virtual keyboard on an iPhone is very usable for doing things like creating a new event in the Calendar app or typing a short text message. To type email messages or take notes, a full-sized keyboard would be much better.

You can connect a Bluetooth keyboard (like the Apple Wireless Keyboard) to an iPhone 4 or iPhone 3GS that is running iOS 4.

Turn on the Bluetooth keyboard. Then, on your iPhone, open the Settings app.

Tap General and then tap Bluetooth. Make sure Bluetooth is turned on. After a moment, you'll see your keyboard listed. Tap it.

Your iPhone will ask you to type a passcode on your keyboard. After you do this, your keyboard will be connected to your iPhone 4. Type away!

What if the bluetooth keyboard is already paired w/ an iPad? Can you use one bluetooth keyboard with two devices simultaneously?

A keyboard can be paired with one device at a time. So, to use the keyboard with an iPhone, you'd have to unpair it from the iPad first.
