So not only I have to bear a crappy italian keyboard, I even have to wait for it...
I hope UK keyb are the same as US(I could find them more easily), but usually British likes to be different, for example computer keyboards are different...

The local Nokia shop in Bath, UK has no information on release dates at all. However I am considering buying from Electronics For Less (http://tinyurl.com/2lkfvc). They tell me they can ship from Italy with European maps preinstalled and with the plunging US dollar it'll work out much cheaper!

WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING WARNING
They are offering the Nokia N810 for $319 US. I think P.T. Barnum has a famous quote about this

Also note the only payment method they accept: Western Union.
Won't suggest that site to anyone.

That could well explain the N810 delay, and that might even explain why another Nokia device with a keyboard, the E90, took so long to come to market.

The company seems genuine enough though
But don't take my word for it, there's lots of interesting links here, including where they stole their "about us" photo and text from:
