As described here, some recent Sony Ericsson mobile phones support HIG 
over Bluetooth - and its configurable too:

Some nice people have made configuration files for Totem, Amarok, 
MPlayer and XMMS.

I could make one for Rhythmbox - but it looks like it would be much 
easier to use if Rhythmbox supported global keyboard shortcuts 
(otherwise the remote control would only work if rhythmbox was the 
active window).

Is global keyboard shortcuts something you have planned?  Possibly as a 
plugin?  (I did search, but didn't see a bug for global keyboard shortcuts).

Incidentally, I think it would be great to use the same global keyboard 
shortcuts as Amarok - e.g. WIN+B for next track.

Thanks

Peter
