It's the Maemo button, silly! You know, like an Apple key, a Windows key, or a Playstation button. That's why Maemo 5 can't run on the 770 or N800, they have no "M" button!

Re: What we do realistically see in the RX-71

Perhaps it's a num keypad embedded in a larger QWERTY-ish keyboard?

I'm hopeful those Fn keys are real, user-assignable ones. And better still, keys that I can use with the cover/slider/flip closed.

I was thinking exactly the same. ;)
Somebody at Nokia must be ROFL'ing right now after intentionally putting some mysterious bogus code into the kernel for us to discover for some fun. :)

Next on Engadget:
RX-71 photoshop images based on this piece of code. :D

True that there is very little which is specific to rx-71 in kernel. Just two arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-rx71*.c files, entry in changelog - "bluetooth: rx71: add bluetooth configuration for rx71 board
", new config file and many additions like

Code:

+       if (!(machine_is_nokia_rx51() || machine_is_nokia_rx71()))                                                                                           

+               return 0;                                                                                                                                    

+

to rx-51 specific drivers (so they are shared between both devices). Looks like they made some effort to make this joke plausible :-)

The diff between kernels is 60MB big due to 2.6.27->.28 move so it is hard to find every change but the result below proves it is indeed carefully crafted joke ;)

Code:

$ grep rx71 2.6.27-20090202r03-2.6.28.diff | wc -l

71

71 lines containing rx71 in 60MB file, coincidence? I think not ;)

Even if I stick to row-columns as described in the code it doesn't make any sense:

Code:

[     ] [     ] [     ] [     ] [     ] [     ] [     ] [     ]

[     ] [ <<  ] [  5  ] [  7  ] [ <-| ] [  F5 ] [     ] [     ] 

[  M  ] [     ] [  9  ] [  0  ] [     ] [  F4 ] [     ] [     ] 

[  -  ] [     ] [  *  ] [     ] [  4  ] [     ] [     ] [     ] 

[     ] [     ] [     ] [     ] [     ] [     ] [     ] [     ]

somebody must be laughing at us right now ;)

(Or maybe you need diamond-shaped keys for this layout :p )

Its the Matrix!

Or the successor of N800!

... and the RX-71 will have ... FIVE of them!

Re: What we do realistically see in the RX-71

But what about rx-61 :D

Re: What we do realistically see in the RX-71

RX-61 is just the RX-51 with a leather case and an extra cup holder.
