Crud.

Nokias designers must still really not like Scandinavian users.

A standard Norwegian keyboard has
Tab - Q - W - E - R -T - Y - U - I - P - Å - ^ - Enter (Tall key)
Caps - A - S - D - F - G - H - J - K - L - Ø - Æ - * - Enter (Tall key)
I believe Swedish and Danish are rather like that, too. I'd think the Finnish one also.

The N900's nordic localized keyboard has
Ctrl - Q - W - E - R -T - Y - U - I - P - Å - Backspace
Fn - A - S - D - F - G - H - J - K - L - Ö/Ø - Ä/Æ - Enter

This phone has
Q - W - E - R -T - Y - U - I - P - Backspace
A - S - D - F - G - H - J - K - L - ? - Enter

There's simply not enough keys on a row to have a complete localized keyset. They'd have to move backspace and enter, which is unthinkable. They're clearly going to move the Scandinavian keys instead. Hopefully they'll have O/Ö/Ø and A/Å/Æ combos instead of switching arrow keys and localized keys.

Maybe it'll be the official MeeGo developer handset. ;)

Yes, meaning that in next week they'll do core changes that breaks N900 compatibility.

the camera has electronic shutter. I quess you are referring to lens cap or similar because shutter is always(?!?) behind the front lens.

This proto has same amount of keys than the N9's, and there is very nicely placed scandinavian letters. So don't worry :)

Why not? Based on some random forum user's dissatisfaction? I think people should make their own decisions. You don't have to buy it, but my N900 has already been well worth the 600€ I paid for it (replaced both my previous phone and my netbook), and I'll probably pay that again for a nice hardware upgrade.

There's never going to be a device that would be "perfect" for everyone, so let's just wait for more of the "dealbreaker!" cries... Just like with the N900 when it was introduced.

Hm - if I compare - this proto looks like Nokia:

And this proto like an Apple device:

Or is it just because of the color? Not sure yet, which I would prefer...:rolleyes:
