@Flandry, it wasn't the normal "a"-key, but scandinavic "ä", which is a with two dots above it. I couldn't make the in-game bounding since the arrows are not working. I was trying editing the uqm.key file manually.

Dunno what Nokia is thinking releasing a mobile computer without directional arrows.
Edit: This was filed as Bug 6623. Out-of-the-box resolution will probably have to wait until the tilt-control version makes it to extras. I can release a version with two letters mapped to up and down as well as the arrows, but i'd rather focus on getting tilt control working and through testing. Soleil's workaround sounds usable to me.

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

Go to your application loader and click the icon that looks like this
.Play.
If you have no up and down arrow keys, when you are done playing, go back into Settings and reset the keyboard to your native language.

The 3DO content package is now in extras-testing. If you have an N900 and are playing uqm, please consider installing the uqm-3do-data package, testing that it meets the QA requirements and then voting it up.
It's over 100 MB, so make sure you're on wifi before grabbing it!

There should really be a way to set keys for this game.

There is a way to set keys for the game, but the current control mapping uses up and down arrows to navigate to that menu. There's also the option of modifying the configuration file. If you want to do that, copy the default mapping to your own config file like this:
cp /opt/uqm/content/uqm.key ~/.uqm/flight.cfg
and then edit the ~/.uqm/flight.cfg file in a text editor
As i mentioned before in this thread, i'm willing to make alternative control configuration files available as a more satisfying fix for users, but that requires someone with one of the defective keyboards to share with me a working configuration.
The tilt control acts as a generic joystick, so it will be a working default when that version is ready for extras.

Fortunately, I found that the "English, Nederlands" keyboard has functional arrow keys, so you can add it to your tutorial.
As for the config file, I'll try to make one myself once I have time (not now sorry :/)
