Hi there, i'm planning to buy a wireless keyboard and mouse. But as i don't want to pay the extra money for a bluetooth-enabled keyboard, i'm wondering if it is possible to use a normal cordless keyboard an my cellphone via bluetooth at the same time!?
Has anyone tried this yet?

well if you don't want to pay extra for a bluetooth KB and mouse buy an RF wireless one. Many people here, myself included, are very happy with logitech products. Do you already have bluetooth (are we talking desktop or laptop?), if you don't have it but will be getting it anyway to connect your phone then it may be worth it to get a bluetooth KB and mouse and save yourself a usb port.

Hmmm, i already have bluetooth build into my iBook. But i thought bluetooth keyboards and mice are about three times more expensive than a cheap bundle from logitech/microsoft?

a bluetooth mouse will work thru bluetooth, that is why it is there... are you trying to use a different wireless protocol thru bluetooth?

Dude... just suck it up and buy the silly keyboard from apple...
