Can the Logitech dinovo mini talk to the Wii?

I just installed a bluetooth enabled phone near the Wii and now it pops up the caller ID on the TV when the phone rings.

This makes me wonder if the little Logitech keyboard can function through the Wii as well and I won't need to hook a linked computer to the TV to surf the web. My Wii is already linked up though the house network.

Thanks for any info.

The wii does not support BlueTooth Keyboards, it only supports wired keyboards

are you sure its not something to do with your cable/sattelite provider? assuming you have one that is... because i know mine has an option to have the caller id pop up on the tv if i so desire.

just a thought

It is undoubtably not the wii. If you think it is... I really don't even know what to say. Actually, I'd probably say something like this:
1. Why would Nintendo do that?
2. Whats the point?
3. Thats a stupid idea.
4. You are very, very, technologically challenged.

If you still don't believe me, proceed onto the next section where I will prove my point.

Now, onto proving why it is wrong instead of ridiculing it (which is a lot more fun btw)
1. In order for the Wii to communicate with a phone, the Wii and the Phone must be paired together via bluetooth, which they are not. Why? Because, as of now the wii can only be paired with wiimotes (without modding or exploiting).
2. The Wii would need software to recognize the information it is recieving from the phone and display it on the t.v. The wii does not and will not ever have this software.
3. Why would Nintendo bother doing that... Also, it has no mentioning of that in any articles I have ever read, and I am sure that if it did have the software, we would know about it.
4. Assuming (keyword assuming) it displays it while you are watching T.V., how would the wii put the information on the screen. The t.v. will only display information from the wii when it is on the input channel. The wii cannot put information into other channels.
