Most likely it is. A qwertz without umlauts would be a strange sight indeed... :)

Well, at least we have now some idea what to expect here in Switzerland too. Not perfect, must say, those sacrificed arrow keys might prove to be annoying - but on the other hand, the Scandinavian layout is similar and they can cope with it.

Too bad that there's no dedicated comma key though.

Okay, end of hope. The Amazon Picture is a fake. :(

I'm sure you're as used to as I am typing on a qwerty keyboard with a dvorak layout in software, ho hum

Re: N900 EU qwerty for Germany
 
Amazon.de shows german QUERTZ layout, Nokia.de confirmes that all four arrow keys are like in the enlish layout.

Yeah. But in the end I think I'm happier to have ü, ö and ä as their own keys, will definitely use those more often than up and down arrows. What annoys me the most at the moment is that there is no separate comma-key (have to alt+. for that). At least the alt key is on the left side of the keyboard, and not on the right as on n97!! Ought to be a lot easier to use...

Hopefully there could be a fast fix to reach the "," with a long press of the "." key. Like the Numbers on the N97 now.

Hi guys,

Two quick questions.

1 - Someone has a picture of an Spanish keyboard?

2 - Does anyone knows if it's possible to configure shortcuts to reproduce some special characters?. I mean, using the uk keyboard use the combination (Ctl + n) and generate an special character?

Thx.

To the (lucky) owners:
To the owners in Germany/..: do you miss these up/down arrows?
To the owners with full arrows: do you use these up/down arrows a lot?

I think these layouts have potential to make arrow key-dependant apps developed by people with full arrows frustrating. (looking at Games, etc.)
