Jak podmienić plik zawierający zmodyfikowaną mapę klawiatury sprzętowej, umożliwiający wprowadzanie polskich znaków w Nokii N900 za pomocą kombinacji Fn+Ctrl->litera.

Although Nokia N900 has support for Polish UI and input language out-of-the-box, every Polish user of this device would most definitely agree that typing anything that involves specific Polish characters like żażółć gęślą jaźń is a huge pain. For those who don’t know – every national char has to be entered via little on-screen virtual keypad that appears after pressing Fn+Ctrl keyboard combination.

After over a month of waiting I have finally received my very own, much anticipated Nokia N900. Yay! But… well, it quickly turned out that initial impression wasn’t too much to “yay” about, as my N900 unit is apparently affected with random reboots issue. Despite quite positive contribution of Nokia engineers to Maemo Bugzilla entry regarding this issue, the exact cause wasn’t determined (yet) and the most likely explanation is simply a piece of faulty hardware within the unit I have. Having no software-based solution to this yet and knowing there are lots of happy random reboot-less users of N900 out there, I’m planning to arrange a warranty replacement for my N900 next week, so hopefully new unit will work properly.

I’ve just came back from N900 meetup held in London tonight, 17th of November 2009 that is. There are few things I’d like to point out.

Zachodziłem w głowę tu i ówdzie jak mojego angielskojęzycznego HTC Magica zmusić do poprawnej obsługi polskich znaków diakrytycznych w klawiaturze ekranowej oraz słowniku T9, a tymczasem – jak to zwykle bywa – najciemniej pod latarnią.

Nokia N900 has been finally announced, oh yes! This is the device I am really, really looking forward to get – even more than any new Android device that could possibly get released this Autumn/Winter. Having some previous experience with Nokia Internet Tablets, and now reading the official specs of N900 I can without much hesitation say that N900 is going to be groundbreaking device for Nokia and is quite likely going to lead the path that future handsets from Finland might follow.

When you pay for something upfront and then never get it, what that is? I’d say a theft. Having said that, turns out Nokia is a thief.

If I was ever trying to find the right way of describing differences between Nokia E71 and HTC Magic, I’d say that E71 is like loving, caring and hard-working but not-so-beautiful wife, while Magic is hot and sexy wamp, ready to please you in any way you want, but not care about you much after that.

It’s been a while since last update, as I wasn’t able to write new posts recently. My Android & me experiment has officially ended today, and I switched back to Nokia E71. However, to be honest, I haven’t done that without a hesitation. HTC Magic has something magic, something that don’t let the user off easily. Anyway, I’ve been still using Magic as a default phone over past few days and I have few points to note before concluding my experiment.

W00t! I found the way of enabling predictive text feature for Polish language! In fact, it was dead simple – just a matter of changing system locale/language to Polish. :) Strangely, keyboard language selection box hasn’t Polski option to choose, which was putting me off earlier. But now I have double checked this and prediction works fine in my native language, despite the lack of the option – well, these are some odd quirks of using non-official ROM firmware. Anyway, I wonder whether that discovery is going to convert me to on-screen keyboard now? I guess not, but hopefully typing text will get painful. Time will tell, and I will tell here later what time said.
