Please? Was something left out of the consumer device?
I used the device today. Virtual keyboard just felt very similar to iPhone4's VKB. The default VKB does not have 2-way keys (so thereis no hold to get number etc) and there is no special gestures to get uppercase by swiping up on a key etc. It was basic as it comes. By no means it was "bad", but it wasn't anything special either. I had a lot of mis-types on the N9's VKB just as I would do on Android/iPhone. (heck, Android's gingerbread VKB is much better imo)

And no, there wasn't any extra-layer touchy-feely tech.

BTW, this N9 better have Korean support. (Input also) As Nokia is the only company that doesn't seem to care about globally available Asian languages support. This is the MAIN reason why all my friends/relatives do not even think about buying a Nokia.
