Yes, this is your only chance if you don't want to get rid of the 
keyboard. Looks like the Freedom Keyboard II supports HID profile but 
the one you have does not.

It can be definitely made to work with kbdd from 
http://fanoush.webpark.cz/maemo/ but the hard part is to figure out 
which keyboard type supported by kbdd is compatible with you keyboard 
(if you are lucky) or more probably you may need to figure out keycodes 
and communication protocol your keyboard uses and then it needs to be 
added to kbdd. I did this with iPAQ Bluetooth Foldable and it was not so 
hard but it definitely needs some hacking and linux skills on your part. 
I may add it to kbdd if you figure out the protocol.
