</div>Not on the market yet.^W^W^W^W^WJust announced, ergo buggy. NO KEYBOARD.<br>
Say you've bricked your phone or locked it down. How are you going to<br>
bring it back without a keyboard? Personally, I don't like either wiping<br></blockquote><div>I don't see how having or not having a keyboard has anything to do with being able to revive a bricked unit.<br>The SheevaPlug has no keyboard, yet it's mini-USB connection that can drive a JTAG chain to reprogram the internal flash regardless of the unit state.<br>

off fingerprints or when a on-screen keyboard obscures the most of,<br>
already scarce, available surface. So, it's an option, as long as the<br>
company would like to open its chest of secrets. However, I would<br>
strongly consider the silently announced "brother phone" N950 instead if<br>
I were you.</blockquote><div>The N950 is not available for sale.<br>There were 250 units available on a long-term loan to qualified developers, and then 100 more were made available on the same requirements via <a href="http://maemo.org">maemo.org</a> or <a href="http://meego.org">meego.org</a> or something like that.<br>
You just can't buy it.<br>And even if you could, it's software would probably be in a worse state than the N900's.<br><br>Personally, I have an N900 and I don't see anything that can replace it at the moment.<br>
I just hope that eventually we would see Meego on someone's phone.<br>If it would break down I would look for a 2nd hand one.<br><br>Udi<br><br> <br></div></div><br></div>
