While you are at it do you have any kind of time frame for the nonqwerty release or announcement?
If it indeed got different SOC we might have to wait for that for some time, hopefully not though.
btw this is a Nokia Month so could be 2012

I feel very strongly about it.
Nokia need to sit up and listen!

I hope you are in the right ballpark with that estimate.
Hopefully the announcement would happen next month at it's latest.

I do wish the N9 keyboard (assuming it's the same as in the old N9 pics) was more unix friendly. Like having a '/' that didn't require shifting... and pipes that didn't require the symbols popup. The 4th keyboard row is a welcome addition though.
The 9300 keyboard was really good... it made putty very usable.

After N900 I've been using Samsung Galaxy 3. It's really pain in the *** to use the keyboard. How is it with phones with bigger screens than Galaxy 3's 3.2"?

Did anyone here modify the on screen keyboard in the N900? How difficult was it?
It was a breeze to modify the HW keyboard, much more challenging to modify the bluetooth keyboard profile and I gave up on the Virtual keyboard.
Unless something´s changed the device will be of lesser use to me as I´d be limited to the symbols/letters I can write.
Like some others I bought the N900 because of the hardware keyboard. That was spec #1 when I was out looking for devices last time. And it still is.

All times are GMT. The time now is 22:49.
Can't believe I've registered over this but wanted to also express the fact I really want a hwkb.
I didnt come here for the FOSS etc. I didnt even know what linux was untill I got my N900!
I CAME FOR THE KEYBOARD!
I really cant get on with vkb's and dont know how I will live without keyboard shortcuts. Cant imagine selecting text without shift+dpad or copying and pasting onscreen.
I dont think ive ever used the onscreen browser back button and rarely switch tasks without using the Ctrl+bkspace shortcut.
I am now hooked on open source etc. but i really dont know if i can take a device without a hwkb.
anyway rant over. lets hope they prove us all wrong with something brilliant!
EDIT: since I went to register look how many are saying the same as me. All the "noobs" that joined this community a year and a half ago didnt come for any reason but the hardware!
I also know another 4 people who have N900's and know nothing of the OS etc. but Love the hardware!!!
