But when i try to write sms, Ctrl ^ Space displays that the keyboard language has changed but still writes English characters.
The only way i can write Greek characters is with virtual keyboard that works fine. What i am doing wrong? Thanx in advance.
What are you doing is correct, but this is stupidity of n900. Setting languages is almost useless for qwerty; but it should work for virtual one just fine.

For example, I want Hardware keyborad layout to be English, but also use russian or greek or turkish, doesn't matter. It will not work. What could we do is to switch hardware layout to russian for instance, and set English as a first language. WIth some bugs of setting initial language it will work. But russian hardware layout is stupid, pressing Left key would enter the dot '.' character. This really sucks man, but this is Nokia
