After about a week typing on the n900, I found the space bar press to be strange, as if it were broken. I had a closer look and noticed that pressing it on the left or right feels and sounds normal with a distinct single click. Pressing it in the center half way results in the first click, and then pressig a little harder results in a second click. Anyone else see this? Or is this one actually broken?

same here, not sure if it's supposed to be like that. But im getting used to pressing it on the left now. I like the virtual onscreen keyboard too, it's so fast. This is the most responsive resistive touch screen ever. It's as sensitive as the capactive but better which u can use your nail or anything.

I agree about the sensitivity of the screen. Haven't used the onsceen kb. Really don't like the feel/sound of this space bar. Anyone else see this?

Mine's the same i just press the left side. Every now and then I press the middle. As long as it works,eh? I'm guessing that the "two button" space is a design thing, makes the kb easier to make.
I wonder what the percentage of visitors to this forum is from N900s?

Think this is how the design is

In my opinion improve chances of pressing the spacebar
If it's

then pressing on the left side or right side might not register the input.

I agree with Venomrush, the spacebar is made up from two buttons, that's why you hear the second click. It'll only register once though, so no double spaces
