Its exactly a "freedom-mini-keyboard", look here:

It support HID profile, but has this bug, which makes it quite unusable.

Hm... this gives me just the events, I want to modify them. On the N800, 
there are already some profiles for HID keyboards, they (the profiles) 
must be stored somewhere, or are they hardcoded?

I could try xmodmap, I think in the BT-plugin for the N770 is a working 
copy of xmodmap 8even for the N800). The easiest way would be to rpovide 
a new profile for the control panel->hardware keyboard. Don't know how 
this works.
