the keyboard is the one piece that looks, for want of a better phrase, cheap. i know there were several revisions and some backers submitted suggestions but i agree the extra column could have been rejigged. iirc theres some l3and r3 buttons and power which i'd move to far left, right and centre to start. plus i'd use a different font on the keys.

i suppose the shifted keyboard you'd learn to live with, i have with the n900's funky left alignment of all rows.
