I expect to see Mer on RX-51 too.
Thanks again for all the work on Mer and I realize it can be difficult addressing multiple concerns.

Following up on this thread:
http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=30915

and the hardware status here:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Mer/Status

and seeing there is no D-pad or some HW buttons on RX-51 (and perhaps Fremantle will not support or advocate same),

is Mer committed to supporting these and other HW features for N8x0, Smart Q5, and future devices?
