Won't have that problem with Maemo.




Kind of have to agree with them regarding the space bar key. It's really a bonehead move by Nokia and that's coming from someone who loves Nokia phones. There is no advantage (in typing speed) by moving the space bar to that location. If anything it presents a learning curve for using the phone.

I doubt anyone types faster because the keyboard was shoved all the way to the right. It's a feature that doesn't add any benefit to the phone so it really isn't a "feature" at all. Plus people are going to take one look at that keyboard and say they don't like it. That's just the nature of consumers.

One thing I want to write is a virtual keyboard that has NORMAL keyboard layout. Nokia is simply going down the wrong path by having to force users to adapt to a new keyboard. It's a bad idea...
I gotta disagree with you about the space bar. It's finally in a spot where I can reach it completely with one thumb instead of being awkwardly placed where neither of my thumbs could get it easily like on the N810.
