According to a post here on t.m.o., and who am I to dispute that august body, the n810 had 7 keyboard variants: us, fisenoda, ptes, fr, de, ru, it.

I assume the n900 will be the same.

Is it this which drives the "selected markets" thing? The only Nokia european websites I find taking pre-orders are Germany and Italy.

Assuming the US model is available on the same date, why can't they release in the UK as well?
