My-Symbian & My-Maemo

Here picture from Finnish forum of the new design of production unit.

The baseline is a little bit higher between those camera and PT buttons. This eliminates the keyboard to touch the inner screen.

I hope these newer models will be released in the UK...

[Gobbi]

[Jah]

Good to know! Mine has the new style keyboard (got it yesterday) but I'm having an issue with the direction pad. The down has much less feedback when pushed then up left or right. Should be a simple fix. That and it is missing one of the rubber feet. Good thing it rests on the back hinges when open so it is not uneven.

Got mine from Singapore. Base line is already higher.

Does it really make any diffrent.

I can confirm that it didn't make a difference. I bought a new unit just like the picture, the keyboard still tocuhes the screen. You can see this from some marks that left behind on right center area. It's about 5 keys horizontal and 3 rows, maybe from H-;. The marks can be easily wiped off, and usually result from oil that accumulated from our fingers

Mine is singapore version, and already higher.. Had it for 2 weeks already

Also, the directional pad feels like it doesnt have the tacktile feel pushing down, as it does left, right and up. I agree, but for me it seems if i approach the pad from the bottom or right side, i get this effect, but if i press from the top, it feels the same as the others.. I think the other keys get in the way, which reduces its effectiveness.

Yeah, it will help against flex around the edge of the phone but seriously, it probably won't really protect the screen from the keyboard. Like many said here, a screen protector is the best bet. As for the oily smudges, a wipe every couple of days is probably the only way.

Exact same problem here. Down button has much less feedback then the other keys.

I do notice the keys must lightly touch the screen. I too see the key grease outlines.
