Well I don't know if this has answered before or not but I searched a little and found nothing unfortunately,so the question is can the n9 use a usb keyboard like the n8?

If yes,is there any way to make it behave like a native hardware keyboard like on n900 or n950?I believe that if there is actually a way of doing this it would close the gap in a very big disadvantage the n9 has,the hardware keyboard and open a new world for the n9.

Thank you very much and excuse my lack of knowledge.

Smiler.

Until USB host mode is implemented, N9 cannot use USB devices. The way USB driver is implemented it can only act as an USB guest device (It means it can only be connected to a computer)

Thank you very much it seems that it's not a hardware problem then, I hope it gets fixed somehow in the future.
