I got a reply from Nokia Netherlands and they said they will let the manufacturer know about it...

In my opinion, this is a load of bollocks.
No company would be pushing so hard, and trying to get so much community goodwill - and then proceed to shoot themselves in the foot this hard.
(I'll be switching to the N900 because it looks awesome, and also because I admittedly have no real other choice. My universal has been dying for *years*.

I don't know if it's real or not, don't really care, but my feelings tell me that whatever will the next Nxx Maemo device look like, it won't have a hw keyboard...on that i would bet

I had the opportunity to try out a colleagues 5800, the lack of keyboard makes for a clumsy awkward interface. I'll keep my N900... When it arrives...

two totally different solutions
different Operating Systems
different screen size
different resolution

Ugh! I hate out of control threads. The issue has already been resolved, its just a rendering by a fellow blogger, and having keys or not doesn't mean all subsequent NITs will be keyless. If all goes well, Nokia may go hog wild with multiple form factors, which is a good thing.
