If it can charge via USB or miniUSB, then I don't need any special chargers for it (my G1 charges via miniUSB, and they're all hooked up to ports on computers, and for emergencies I have a wall USB port (and a car cig-lighter USB port, but I never use that since I don't have a car anymore) ... so worst case, I'd just have to get regular USB cables to replace the USB->miniUSB cables).

My G1 has worse battery life than 6 hours, so this would be a step up ;-)

Yeah and his most recent tweet "Hmmm, i used rover for several months, so standby 2 days, active use arounnd 6 hours, like video etc"

I wonder why they could not use the bigger battery....

Looking at that picture, I think I know what I would have done differently on the keyboard, wrt to the control key (I mean, other than making it a 5 row keyboard).

IF the control key is NOT sticky (you have to hold it down to get the "control" aspect):

Blue-Up is Control (puts it on the right side, where it belongs, and is sort of symbolic of a control key (where the shorthand is often ^ )). So, you'd hit the blue diagonal arrow ... release ... hit the up arrow (don't release) ... hit the desired key. So, sending and interrupt becomes 3 key strokes: "blue up+c"
For the current "Ctrl | Sym" key, I would make it "Sym | Esc". Meaning the white/normal aspect of the key is "Symbol", and the blue aspect of the key is "Escape".
Hitting the blue arrow twice is tab. "shift blue blue" is back-tab.

If the control key IS sticky (you release it before hitting the desired key), then that still leaves open the question of "where escape?" and "where's tab"? In that case, I would say:

"blue up" would be escape,
"blue left" would be back-tab, and
"blue right" would be tab.

I would leave "blue down" alone, to avoid mistakes with the tab keys.

But, really, the proper solution is a 5 row keyboard, with actual control, escape, and tab keys; plus dedicated number row, and arrow keys. And a dpad on the face.

Somebody asked for an exact translation of Murtazin's LJ post, so here it is:

I am looking at N97 holding it in my hands and understand that.. Errr... Anyways, I will write something tomorrow evening, to make you [all] happy... While trying not to create problems for the company.

PS: After living [with this device] for a few months, I can tell that this smartphone is a wonder. And a stable, flying wonder

It does lag in a few spots, but all these are expected.

The mention of monastery in the Google Translate output is a part of a Russian idiom that means "cause someone else to suffer an administrative punishment". Word "pobolee" simply means "more", in a slightly archaic (but still used) spoken Russian.

That should be a slight improvement from the N810 camera.

So basically its like any smartphone out there, heavy use will require daily charge, I'm guessing that I will have to have a charger at work, in the car etc for all the playing I'm going to be doing on this thing

What was the battery supplied with the prototype RX-51?
