Hey everyone,

I know that there are many soft solutions for some of the weird European keyboards. However, I seek out a full physical keyboard replacement, and have been unable to find any official statement regarding its possibility.

Can anyone confirm that physical replacement(&software) will be possible by the Nokia service?

I dont see how it would be possible, if the keys are like the N810 the each key is a separate piece and each one is glued to a rubber or silicone membrane

the keyboard of the n900 is different. check this video out:

looks like it's pretty easy to exchange.

You can see from the disassembly video that it is one neat piece. So replacement should be relatively simple.

was there ever any word on this? I just bought a GameGripper, which I love, but I'm concerned about wearing out the keys..
