Just wondering if you would be able to use a BlueTooth external keyboard with the E815 or does it lack the software (drivers) recognize it?

It would acutally be a profile that it is missing. Bluetooth keyboards use the Human Interface Device (HID) profile, which the e815 lacks. So to answer your question, no you would not be able to use one.

Ok, thanks for the response...dumb question but you cant simply add the keyboard profile to the phone using a "phone hack" could you?

Negative. The only way would be to actually rewrite the firmware to add in this feature.
