And this proto like an Apple device:



Or is it just because of the color? Not sure yet, which I would prefer...
This looks like two different devices??

That makes sense actually, since most commonly used Ctrl-letter combinations are keys on the left side of the keyboard.

Making Sym a dedicated key (like Chr on the N810) is also a good move. Otherwise this thing may have 4 extra keys compared to the N900 but no real improvement. There are still no "<", ">", "|" etc symbols accessible at all on the keyboard, while for some reason they thought we needed a dedicated "@" key... It seems that asking us what symbols we use was a complete waste of time :-(

This is because you think as a command line user where those symbols are much used, but the device is aimed first of all at a general audience, for which command line use shouldn't be required.
My brother would use the '@' symbol several times a day, while nearly never using those other keys.
But I still hope those other symbols aren't too far away to type for our geeky needs.

Is it really that hard to have an easy way to access all those extra symbols?

That sounds good...Whats the difference between a Snapdragon and a Hummingbird for power consumption. Also when is someone gonna raise the bar to 1gb RAM? I think I'd perfer 1gb of RAM and 32gb hd than 521mb and 64gb hd anyone else agree?

EDIT: Best I found was the Galaxy S w/ 512mb RAM and 2gb ROM.
Xperia X10 has 384mb RAM maybe N9 could shoot for 768mb? lol

I would love to see, 1GB RAM, 1GB ROM, 1GB SWAP, 32GB eMMC + MicroSD + USB OTG + HDMI + atleast 720p recording at 30fps + at least a 1Ghz Hummingbird (Snapdragon doesn't have DSP) + FM transmitter + FM reciever + Infrared + Bluetooth + Wireless N + front facing camera 2Mp + 1280x720p display + 30% thinner than N900 + 4" AMOLED multitouch screen + Atleast 5Mpx camera with Xeon and Dual LED for video. Battery last at least 400Hrs standBy, and 6hours 3G calling. Gyroscope + three points accelerometer + Compass + SWYPE..list goes on!

Nokia does seem to like its currency characters.

Though not as much as they used to, the Yen symbol hasn't been seen since the N810 ;-)

Yes, they are different.
