The Nokia N97 QWERTY Keyboard

Welcome to Day 4 of Search for N Contest to win Nokia N97. The N97 has a revolutionary keyboard.

Today’s question : What are the first six letters in the modern day keyboard layout ? There are a lot of interesting things about the keyboard on the phone.Its got 3 rows of keys which are nicely spaced apart.The first question I asked N97 Designer, Axel Meyer was about the space bar on the QWERTY keypad.The space bar is pretty tiny and finds it place on the right side. Normally one would expect a larger spacebar and also positioned at the center. But Axel suggested that I use the keyboard for a while and see how it worked. After I used the space bar on the right, i actually found it easy to use. It seems that this new keyboard follows haptics effectively(Haptics is study of human touching behaviour)

The full QWERTY keyboard with nice backlighting

Both the black and white variants have backlit QWERTY keyboards.

The first row of keys comprise of alphanumeric keys which can be toggled using the shift. There’s the backspace / delete key on the right end. Second row comprises of alphabets and symbols and the Return / Enter key at the end.The Third row has more alphabet and symbol keys . It also has the shift key, function key and a nice symbol key. Overall It took a few minutes to get used to the N97’s QWERTY Keyboard,but i could type fast and without making mistakes. I like the space between the keys. This space is present because the N97 does not come with a cheap membrane keyboard but with individual keys !
