So not only I have to bear a crappy italian keyboard, I even have to wait for it...
I hope UK keyb are the same as US(I could find them more easily), but usually British likes to be different, for example computer keyboards are different...

There shouldn't be much difference (if any) between UK and US on the N810 just cos it isn't a full size keyboard.

The local Nokia shop in Bath, UK has no information on release dates at all. However I am considering buying from Electronics For Less (http://tinyurl.com/2lkfvc). They tell me they can ship from Italy with European maps preinstalled and with the plunging US dollar it'll work out much cheaper!

I suggest that people do a google search on the above URL (after expansion). You will find many "is a scam" references.

They are offering the Nokia N810 for $319 US. I think P.T. Barnum has a famous quote about this

Also note the only payment method they accept: Western Union.
Won't suggest that site to anyone.

lol, they never have had, all the way up until they had a 770 on display and still didn't know what it was :)

Yeah, the usual differences are location of £$ '/ and #~ keys afaicr. None of which are probably available without the fn key anyway (don't have an image to hand) so shouldn't make any odds.

I did not notice the payment options before. The company seems genuine enough though, however credit card payments or PayPal seem the safest so perhaps I will look elsewhere.

That's a very very good point, Europe has so many different layouts (QWERTY, AZERTY, QWERTZ etc), and then there's the cyrillic alphabet to consider too.

That could well explain the N810 delay, and that might even explain why another Nokia device with a keyboard, the E90, took so long to come to market.

Why would any genuine company be selling brand new just-launched products at huge discounts?

But don't take my word for it, there's lots of interesting links here, including where they stole their "about us" photo and text from:

I notice that Play.com have updated their due date to 5th December and are now selling the N800 for £150.

(drums fingers on desk impatiently).
