but now i miss some hardware keys. not only green/red for calls, but home button as well.

is it there somewhere?

Nope. Only volume + -, camera, lock and power buttons.

Screen is 3,5" so it's as big as iPhone's

Does the one on sale from Nokia Germany website have a German keyboard?

The photo on their site shows a QWERTY keyboard, but the text says eine vollständige QWERTZ-Tastatur.

Getting one from Germany is the easiest option for me, but I'd hate to be stuck with the German keyboard.

i don't care for iphone. it is smaller than my n800! :-)

letters with small font, that i can read on n800 will be probably too small for me to read.

Hmmm....the screen size is disappointing. My wife has an iphone and it's too small for me. Especially after using the N810 for so long.

For now, I'll stay with the n810. Darn, I was waiting for the new one. :(

so how can i return to home screen? how do i make a call?

btwi: i prefer to have several physical buttons for phone, so i can operate it without looking. simple things, such as stopping a call, stoping morning alarm, start/stop playing music.

as n900 is the phone, i should be able to operate without slide-out keyboard.

Linking to those European sites, makes me lol. People here are complaining about 550 Euros for this device, when the n97 retails for 650 Euros and there are dumb feature phones for 850 and 1300. 550 is such a great price for the N900 in comparison.

Yup, a very good price indeed! Probably Nokia still "subsidizing" the N900 a bit to give more legs to Maemo and try to drive it to the market.

It costs *less* than the e90 in retail stores here. And e90 is quite an oldie now.

Man, that sucks. So I probably can't buy until it appears in a European market with the US/UK variant. Or unlocked in the US.

Notable contrast between US and Europe launches - unlocked in Europe with no sudsidised handsets available yet but US seems to be set for subsidised handsets only at first.

That's capitalism for you, I guess.
