Hi,
Most modern SonyEricsson mobile phones with bluetooth has the remote control software installed. The default installation comes with three configurations: Presenter, MediaPlayer and Desktop. I've been using the Desktop mode to control xbmc, it has mousecontrol and directional keys. It's a little sparse so I couldn't use it all the time but then I stumbled upon the "Bluetooth Remote Control V4.0" from SonyEricsson.
This is a software that you can configure all the available buttons on your SonyEricsson phone. My phone (W610) has 22 buttons that you can assign to keys or kombinations of keys(alt+tab and such). You can even create your own image to combine with the keymap. I recently found this program so I haven't created "the perfect" XBMC map. But I you do, please share the .HID file!
From what I can understand, this bluetooth remote is HID compatible so it should mean that it also works in linux. Not the configuration software though.
Link to the software: Bluetooth Remote Control tool 4.0 - Windows (2.2 MB) (it's also available for mac, not linux though)
Screenshot of the software:
To transfer the file to the phone use this:
