These can be edited to any key combination you want.

But that would cripple Maemo 5 to the point where a keyboard would be necessary and limit the range of devices that can run it. Plus, you would have to slide open the keyboard, and hit two keys, which is rather awkward and a step backward for a UI that has been designed with a lot of thought.

Nice review. I would have liked to have seen more screenshots of portrait mode. Incidentally, when in portrait mode, does anyone know which side is the top? For example, in portrait mode, does the keyboard open to the left of the screen or to the right?

I think that might be the new LED indicator which is hinted at in one of the control panel images.

Yes, I was just thinking on that.

I've somehow come to accept Eldar's predicted September 2nd announcement date as a given, and I shouldn't. Besides, even if that is the announcement date, it does not mean that the release will immediately follow, as it has done with previous Maemo devices. Eldar himself states that the release will be late this year, so trusting him for the announcement date, but not the release date, makes the least sense of all. I've become too eager.

With all those pictures, the guy could have at least posted a screenshot of the browser's "About" page.

i would say open to the left, because then the earspeaker is on top...

The reason why I'm accepting his predicted September 2nd date is because it's the first day of Nokia World 2009 and as far as I know, that's where most of their new hardware is announced. It seems like it would be the perfect place to launch their latest and greatest... but yeah, I don't generally believe random Russian blogs. ;)
