I guess if I keep it short, my subtle comments can be picked apart. haha.

The pipe key was just an example, I actually usually it fairly rarely. I do find Home and End to be rather useful (terminal). Non-English/Non-Roman-alphabet speaking people should be infuriated.

It was just the point of Nokia headed in the phone direction rather than mobile computer.

Perhaps they think UMPCs and eventually MIDs would corner the market and they likely want to push smart phones. I'm sure they see this as an opportunity to try Linux instead of Symbian to compete with Apple, Palm, etc.

I laugh at my friend's N97 and it's feeble touch-screen keyboard (T9 seriously?!) But at least it's better than the N95 (same friend has a couple versions of it).

I hope those of you that purchase this device will be elated.

As for me, I will not. I will not purchase another NIT until they get it right. Perhaps the fabled RX-71 will be that device, if not I'm sure another company can earn my money.

[Oh and I have another thing to rag on about concerning the n97 (too early to tell what they did for the RX-51) - the N810 has a built-in stylus holder, genius (yes Palm and others did this years ago), does the N97...no, they include a stylus the size of permanent marker with a "convenient" cellphone strap. hah. what a kick in the face.]
