Isnt the lumna 800 the exact same dim as the N9 you might want to mention that when requesting the kb, that 2 phones could be covered with 1 product

There may be better options around but the critical thing is whether they will make one for N9 which has been pronounced a dead OS by none other than the Nokia CEO.

^ He intimated that MeeGo's dead, he's never said there won't be Maemo-based devices.
Plenty of accessory makers made great accessories for the N900.
And it wasn't even pushed as a mass-market device at all, unlike the N9.

Also luckily we have the Lumia 800, that will create extra demand.
Given the nature of the accessory, it can be easily retro-fitted for the N9.
Nokia & MS are pushing the L800 with all their might in targeted countries.
And that list for targeted countries has been steadily growing.

Nok still hasn't done the same for the N9 yet, in countries it was held-away from.
I'm not sure they ever will now, despite them saying earlier they would.
Although I've heard rumors it's coming to India in March+ (far too late though).

That's a very good point...
Folks that put their vote in for this, should mention that!
Or just say you have a L800.

While the shape is the same for both phones, do you think there would be a problem with keyboard mappings not being the same for both phones due to Maemo/Harmattan vs Windows whatever. For example, I am able to get btkb working for my Galaxy Note (even has a cursor so I can point and click!) but have had no luck getting the btkb to work with N9 (see http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...8&postcount=15).

EDIT:Finally able to get btkb to work on n9 but current problem for me is I cannot enter text when in full screen mode. Hope there is a fix.

Because It was the closest thing to the n950 that we all wanted.

I doubt there would be issues but we'd quickly find out.

Did you read that thread I linked to?
Answer should be there IIRC, but if not post in that thread.

Are there any Lumia fan sites that could be contacted to help push this idea too? ...Could help increase the votes.

I know that sounds daft, "Lumia fans", really ;)

Well, new here and late to the party but I just put in a request and definitely made sure to mention that the N9 had the same external case as the Lumia 800!

Re: Request this keyboard for n9
 
Does anyone know of a similar accessory, but better quality than this?*
The OEM may be interested in making a product for the N9+L800 communities.
If you don't know of anything else, then at least post your vote...
Make sure you mention that they'd also be catering for the L800 community!
