It's the Maemo button, silly! You know, like an Apple key, a Windows key, or a Playstation button. That's why Maemo 5 can't run on the 770 or N800, they have no "M" button!

Perhaps it's a num keypad embedded in a larger QWERTY-ish keyboard?

I'm hopeful those Fn keys are real, user-assignable ones. And better still, keys that I can use with the cover/slider/flip closed.

Somebody at Nokia must be ROFL'ing right now after intentionally putting some mysterious bogus code into the kernel for us to discover for some fun.

True that there is very little which is specific to rx-71 in kernel. Just two arch/arm/mach-omap2/board-rx71*.c files, entry in changelog - "bluetooth: rx71: add bluetooth configuration for rx71 board
", new config file and many additions like
Code:
+       if (!(machine_is_nokia_rx51() || machine_is_nokia_rx71()))                                                                                           
+               return 0;                                                                                                                                    
+
to rx-51 specific drivers (so they are shared between both devices). Looks like they made some effort to make this joke plausible :-)

The diff between kernels is 60MB big due to 2.6.27->.28 move so it is hard to find every change but the result below proves it is indeed carefully crafted joke

Code:
$ grep rx71 2.6.27-20090202r03-2.6.28.diff | wc -l
71
71 lines containing rx71 in 60MB file, coincidence? I think not

(Or maybe you need diamond-shaped keys for this layout )
Its the Matrix!

Or the successor of N800!

RX-61 is just the RX-51 with a leather case and an extra cup holder.
