I did order the Freedom II keyboard but was out of stock so I had to cancel the order... I have bought the Nokia SU-8W instead, with works very well in general (also with my Nokia 6600), though it's a bit annoying if you're writing in Spanish and you need to write the "ñ" symbol. I think I paid 120 euros for the keyboard a couple months ago.

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.
