Are there keyboard layouts other than German using QWERTZ? Does somebody have information on this? The thing I like about the QWERTZ photo is that there are 4 distinct cursor keys, unlike the Russian layout.

A lot of central European countries use QWERTZ, the Hungarian, Czech, Austrian keyboards are all QWERTZ (and probably the swiss one, too). Serbian/Croatian is also traditionally QWERTZ but something tells me there won't be a special edition for this region :rolleyes:

Yep, I can confirm that Swiss-French and Swiss-German keyboards have a QWERTZ layout.

So for the N900 I think this makes Czech and German layouts with QWERTZ. The other regions you mentioned don't have special N900 layout versions, from what I've seen in the announcements.

I really wonder then, which version the keyboard on amazon.de represents. I would be glad if it was german but I fear it is not (missing äöü and ß). And yes, IMHO umlauts are kinda... useless ;)
But to be honest, we are all going to love the little beast either way, aren't we?

OT @Corwin_bg:
Yepp, black and silver. Long time ago, though. Must be 10 or 15 years since I last read it ;)

I know, I also use them in professional writing. I still would prefer cursor keys over umlauts.

Best regards to Vienna, really a pearl :)

Umlauts accesible with the Fn modifier would be OK for me. Please don't sacrifice cursor keys for umlauts.
