what is the keyboard it provides? Qwerty or the normal keyboard similar to N8, where to type abc you need to press the digit 2?

It uses a virtual keyboard. I liked the N900 keyboard, but this phone is much better than the N900 in many other ways. Use Swype - it's worth your time to understand how it works. It is a real time-saver.

It comes with a touch Qwerty including Swype. Texting with Swype is a breeze.

I agree with Cristofor. Also, if you are planning on getting the 64gig version, it uses alot of battery. Suppose to last 7hrs but if you use it normally you'll need to charge before the days over. I love the N9 and everything it offers though. I have n8 and wish the n9 had same camera.

N9 is a pure touch the text input is possible with on screen keyboard like any other touch phones in the market which loose physical keyboard.

It's a qwerty keyboard and the phone is fantastic! I transitioned very easily from the n8 to the N9.

Both portrait and landscape provide (soft) QWERTY keyboards, and they're both MUCH better than the stock N8 keyboards. As with the N8, you can also install the Swype keyboard, which is what I use most of the time. You can also change keyboards with a flick of your thumb, going from Spanish to English to Swype to French to Spanish, or whatever suits your fancy. It's really very convenient.

Nokia N9 does not have a physical QWERTY keyboard, neither does it have a Touch Tone keyboard, in which ABC and 2 are the same button. What Nokia N9 has is a digital, on screen keyboard, which is used by touching the screen.

One more issue. I touch type, which means you don't look at your keyboard at all when you type. So feeling the keyboard is important. The extra column of keys on the left M1 to M5 confuses my brain. Because my fingers feel the keys starting more to the left, I am constantly typing towards the left. Pushing S for D, A for S, and CAPS for A. I will try to get used to this.anyone else getting tricked up by the extra row?

Yes, that is what I got it for, don't buy it. Keyboard letters work half the time. Hope not too late, I was disapointed. I use the case sometimes anyway.

Im not familiar with QWERTZ keyboards, but the left shift and left ctrl keys are what I'm used to using standard American QWERTY keyboards.

The keyboard is standard qwerty - not sure what you mean by subbing the"z" instead of y. Yes to additional solid state.

Thanks, silly mistake really, I had did a bit of dyslexic typing. All is well now and the keyboard has paired with my blackberry.I will add here that I did upgrade to OS 4.2.1 which did not come with my BB even though i just bought it last week. After that and downloading Marco's file directly into my bb, everything was a breeze.Thanks again, D.

The Keyboard I bought asks for a passcode also. They tip it gives me is that the passcode is usually 0000 or 1234. Once it got past that then it provided a 6 or 7 digit number for me to type on the keyboard and then hit enter. Once I did that the keyboard I had paired very nicely. I will say the keyboard I had was a different one than this one but it still may work the same so I would try those two pass codes to start. It can't hurt.

If you plan on using this keyboard for English only you will not be hindered. Just type the alpha numeric keys as on any keyboard. There is an alternate character key that you can press if you want to access the bilingual keys which are displayed in small script on the corners of mostly number and symbol keys.

The keyboard has a function key in the lower left corner which will allow you to type an apostrophe, which is an option of the "L" key. This function is also used for quotations ", brackets [ ], parentheses { } - I don't see ( ) though - plus quite a few more functions on the numbers keys. Most of the characters are there - you just have to look for them in a different place then you might expect.

I also changed the set up to get the QWERT. Additionally I got a pen for touch screen, and it works. Otherwise I will use my little finger to type

It does have a keyboard. If you're searching, lets say google, you have to press the search bar and then the keyboard comes up. Just like a standard smart phone. FYI It takes a while to get used to (because it doesn't have auto correct) and it can get frustrating, but once you're used to it it's great.

I can't speak to that. I had trouble with the letter keys. They "pop" on to the keyboard. The first day I used it the letter 'a' popped off I never did get it to stay on. Impossible to type anything when you keep having to put the letter back. I was surprised at the poor design.

I don't know. I don't have a keyboard for the iPad other than the one on screen.

It's more like the keyboard that appears onscreen when you don't have a keyboard connected. Those don't have ctrl keys either. I sent mine back because of how challenging it was for me to press the keys. I have a Samsung tablet and it came with a bluetooth keyboard that does have those keys, if that's an option for you. I had ordered this one because of the case...

I've been trying to get my keyboard to sync with my IPAD. The little icon just keeps spinning and won't bring up the window for me to enter the code. Any suggestions?

I don't have this phone anymore so I can't really say. When I had this phone, I did not run across the qwerty keyboard.
