They are crazy or dummy?
We want a real keyboard, the possibility to retreive the battery, MeeGo/Maemo and not this funny Windows Mobile 7 and the most powerfull phone in the World!

Hey, Nokia, open your eyes, the world wait that, the world want that!

Am I the only one who is not that worried about the keyboard?
I know I am using the keyboard every time I have to input text on the N900... But I did not bother with the keyboard most of the time with the N810.

So I suppose I will wait and see...
Besides, my N900 is not yet one year old.

They abandoned this entire community (OK, after four devices, granted ) in order to make a WP7 device. What makes you think they'll take notice of this one thread?

...and mass panic ensues over the hypothetical fart I can 99.9 percent guarantee it will have a keyboard. saying things like device for developers and successor to n900 almost shout keyboard at me.

problem is desire. Z keyboard looks like crap

Oh be serious! If Nokia really plans to release a Meego-related product, be it a phone or whatever, the testing of any prototypes has begun from the moment of N9-00 cancellation. Or even earlier !!!

And if Nokia said the N950 will be keyboard-less, it means that the prototype they are surely testing NOW (because if they're not, they will not release the Meego-related product in due time) is touchscreen-only.

I agree with this petition - I would love the N950 to have a keyboard.

BUT then alot of people will NOT buy it (i.e. the iphone/android crowd who like slim phones), this is exactly who Nokia need to convince.

So I would love to have a H/W keyboard, but I would gladly give it up if it meant the N950 was a SUPER SUPER success and Nokia get the hint that Meego is that way to go - which means we get MORE Meego devices?

I know it's not ideal and not particularly fond of the FART app likers - but it's the way of the world, I'm sure most of you would agree!

The N950 must have a physical keyboard !!!!!!

For me, I would like the N900 successor device to have a hardware keyboard. However, the statement about style, and a quest for a more mass-market appeal, probably mean it won't, unfortunately.
