Cell Phone as Bluetooth PC input

My Motorola Blur cellphone has a touch screen, keyboard and bluetooth. Is the a utility that would allow it to function as a touchpad and keyboard on my PC?

Honestly I do not know allot about bluetooth other than your computer has to be bluetooth capable, which mine is not.

Hopefully others seeing this post could give you more information.

I actually did a little reading on the topic and I found out that you can purchase (15 or 20 US dollars) a small device that plugs into your computers USB slot. You may or may not have to install software that comes with the device for it to work properly.

I already backup my cell phone to my providers servers so I never really needed bluetooth. However I may get the device so I can keep my backups closer to home
