PlayStation®3 Support

I use the internet through my phone. I plug my hdmi cable from my phone to my tv. Is there a way for me to use an external keyboard and a mouse through my ps3? I was wondering if there's a way to tie it all together. I hope this makes sense

Cant you just use a USB keyboard and mouse and plug in straight in the PS? 

That works for me.... But I also have the official keyboard (which I hate)

No.  Your PS3 won't be useful in providing a keyboard and mouse when you are accessing the Internet on your phone.  Aside from receiving media streams from media servers on a home network, the PS3 doesn't integrate with any other devices except for portable Playstation consoles, and PCs running Sony's Remote Play software. I assume that your phone supports Bluetooth keyboards and mice, as the PS3 does.  That would probably be your only option, unless your phone supports a keyboard via its USB or accessory port.

Why not use the phone as a mobile Hot Spot, and run the PS3 off of that?  Then any wireless keyboard and mouse will work through the PS3.  I use a crappy Logitec pair for the PS3, and it works fine on its own.  Maybe I misunderstand though.

The problem with that plan is that you are using the PS3 browser, which is a "limited use" web client.  The phone makes a better browser, especially if it is an Android or Windows Phone device.
