Ok, since I've been following this device since September and live in the Czech Republic,
I thought i could post some info regarding the sales of the N900 in my lovely country


The Czech keyboard layout:


As you can see, our keyboard has just 2 physical arrow keys, just like many other EU countries. That's because of the diactritic symbols we use. Also note that some of the buttons have a different mapping then the English version. The OS is defaultly in Czech.


There are many pre-orders, more then units available. There are only around 100 units in the first batch.


The N900 (pre-orders) starts selling here this Friday, followed by next week. Nokia will be the only company officialy selling this device - in flagship stores in Prague and Brno and via their E-Shop. Apart from that, the big electronics company Alza will sell it as well. Operators will not carry the N900, atleast not until January. From January other shops can start selling it too.


The retail package is same as everywhere else.
You can try out the device at the flagship stores.
Retail price is around 615 Euros.

I'm getting mine next weekend.
