Chinese on N900? Video!

[archzai]

Hey guys, check this new video out on youtube

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xk6chtXIK7k

im quite insanely obsessed with the N900 right now, checking for new videos everyday to see whats been posted.

this is a video with the official Maemo guy, and at 2:47 he shows his conversations with a "friend" but the friend's name is in CHINESE! Which means some sort of support MUST be available for Chinese input now? Unless he copied and pasted the name, which would be so sad and misleading. What do you guys think?

best Demo so far...loving it everyday myself.. Just finished chatting with a Nokia sales rep online and he claims its the end of the month that they will release it. I pressed him about the 9th/16th and he just kept saying end of the month. I don't believe him though :)

It's Japanese Kanji, NOT Chinese if I'm not wrong.

Kanji is both for the most part, with the exclusion of some radicals.

From the video this just states that it can display asian fonts, it doesn't mean we can input. Which any S60 device can display with a simple font change in the system.

I would love for Kanji/Katakana and Hiragana support but honestly I don't forsee this happening anytime soon.
