I hate to disappoint you, but if you have an N900, you ARE a linux user.

Re: Cannot Pair iGO keyboard

If you hadn't paired anything else before, it's easier just to

rm -Rf /var/lib/bluetooth/<your mac address>

then cycle the power. In my case, I had to remove the battery as well. Then power...

Re: SU-8W Keyboard Pairing - What's the Trick?

Interesting idea, reflashing and not restoring from backup. Question is: What gets restored about the keyboard? Perhaps I can just go into the system and mess with those configuration files.
