just found this info ... http://dailymobile.se/2010/01/01/nok...ymbolsnumbers/ not sure how true t is but i remember the n97 was the same and after the firmware update the qwerty was easyer to use as we didnt have to keep using the sym key.

Long press? Wouldn't that interfere negatively with key auto-repeat?

The only key I need for auto-repeat is backspace/delete. Thankfully, it doesn't have any symbols for long press.

Wow... must be a slow news day if they're blogging about bug entries!

Would be nice to get the long press back for Maemo, very nice feature instead of using the function key all the time.

Could always have it as a setting.

Long press for repeat vs. symbols/numbers

Not if it is implemented in a non-free component of maemo.
