Firstly, this is amazing. The promise of this thread was one of the things which caused me to plump for an N900 (only recently decided to get a smartphone) and I can barely believe I'm now carrying around a whole Emacs in my pocket.

I remapped Fn+Left Arrow to Esc to use as the Emacs Meta key (and Fn+Right to Tab) as described earlier in the thread. But I've noticed that when I'm in Emacs, the Fn+Ctrl combination (hitting "Sym") doesn't open the onscreen symbol keyboard anymore. Does anyone know how to reenable it? Or are you all doing large scale keyboard remapping to enter all those symbols physically, maybe via Shift+Fn+various letters?

(Thinking about it I like the Shift+Fn+various letters idea, I'll be trying it later. If anyone has any warnings about why this might /not/ work nicely - perhaps problems of overriding key combinations that might be used by other programs? - I'd be grateful to hear them.)
