I know that, at least on Android, there's a default keyboard but you can replace it easily... and many people really love Swype as their on-screen keyboard (myself included!). Can this also be done on the N9?
Open source? I'm not sure. I've heard that you can make and/or swap keyboards. Not sure how true that is. One can only guess at this point i assume. Swype is available for sure from what I've gathered.

That statement you made where you drew a parallel of the Nokia and Microsoft band could not be any truer. They share the same shitty personality traits haha.
Microsoft's bad rep hurt WP7 bad....but the upcoming Mango seemed to shave off some of that hate, the lumbering giant seems to be awake, and i expect good stuff from them. Hopefully, for Nokia's sake. The WP7 platform looks promising, whoever denies that is truly in denial.

Elop's only crime in MY eyes is that he refuses to push Meego development into full force. Jumping in bed with microsoft to me was understandable, but he has absolutely ZERO REASON TO NOT DO BOTH IN PARALLEL.
