@ziller, i`m afraid that there wont be a dedicated "." key, just like the n97..
it really baffles me that no one has found a pic of the german keyboard yet, it would answer the question because german and swiss keyboard are identical..

You gotta be dreaming...
No offense, I use Dvorak myself, but I've never seen a phone, and mainstream on top of that, with a hardware Dvorak keyboard layout.
Think pigs would have to fly before Nokia would ship the N900 with a Dvorak keyboard, not that me and the other 7 users worldwide wouldn't be happy :O)

But it's a rather odd one. The Z and Y are on their correct places, but I see no umlauts whatsoever, not even as a visible SYM-key combinations (marked in blue)... maybe the image is not a final one?

This is frustrating. When they have to remove directional keys, there is only one conclusion possible. They removed Too Many Keys.
Now I have to consider if I need the english keyboard instead of the localized one.

Hey I can dream can't I?
But what would be the big deal though. They could provide a custom order for such and only run those that order it.
As for pigs flying and hell freezing over... remember that GPL code dump Micros~1 did a while back
I could live with a software only modification if I could get a keyboard for it though. So I don't need to mess with labels etc.

Well, it depends on the keyboard they use. I've done some dvorak modifications on keyboards in the past, and if it has individual keys, could be done, if you're brave enough to open the phone up. But if they use that single plastic platter, from which all keys protrude, like many hardware keyboards use, this is gonna be hard.
The alternative of course is just an xmodmap remap without any stickers attached to memory, that's how one uses dvorak on a pc. For thumb typing this would be interesting, but maybe why not, a good "password" protection too, with the keys mixed up. I might even give it a go... :O)

Messed with the N95 the very next day after I got it(though software only)

And with my passwords having the labels generally is a must since they tend to be absurdly long(30+ chars).

I'm live in Switzerland, french part.
I've bought an Nokia E90 two years ago. The keyboard was a french keyboard (AZERTY, numbers only accessible with shift option)
I've never seen a swiss french physical keyboard on a phone.
I've tested Maemo 5 SDK final and I didn't find the swiss french keyboard in the virtual keyboard configuration...
