After looking at the N9 keyboard layout several times now I wonder more and more why Nokia has placed the Ctrl key on the right side.
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.
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!
