The phrase virtual keyboard either makes you smile with thoughts of the iPhone’s silky smooth capacitive touch screen, or cry due to a stern and unyielding opinion that a device should have buttons. The keyboard on the Nokia N97 is highly debated, and I’m in the camp that feels that the lack of a dedicated comma button and a space key off to the far right is an abomination. Why is it then that the virtual keyboard included in Maemo 5, which holds no limitations due to size of plastic keys, mimics that of the Nokia N97? It’s a sick sad world.
