It got stuck in customs for two weeks and when they finally processed it I had to pay a hefty tax, but it's worth it. The keyboard doesn't bother me in the slightest - in fact, I have a US keyboard hooked up to my desktop too (I grew up abroad and I'm not at all used to the Danish keyboard layout, lol).

I bouht my wonderful eee from UK and am using it with eeexubuntu in danish language - the special characters i my language may not be represented on the keyboard, but they are nevertheless there and it only represents a minor nuisance.

Know alot of ppl who still is waiting for it to be released here, and I guess they still have to wai. thats why I, swede living in norway (as nordic as u could be with dark hair then), ordered mine from ebay seller in taiwan in october, no hassle, and price much lower then expected price on the nordic market.

Ebay or internet would land you well beneath the asking price, and that would include P&P. Why would I pay a surcharge for the Nordic countries when I can get it off the internet just as easily as going into a store. That, if something, sucks big time!

I can just get it here in a local store so it's easy to get. They offered me stickers for the keyboard for the Icelandic letters. I hope everyone else here in the North will get lucky soon.

This is simply intolerable. We've been waiting for this thing for several months already and now it is going to be delayed AGAIN - or even cancelled!? As far as it goes to translating the OS - why bother? Every potential Nordic user knows enough English to use an English language UI. It is only the keyboard that's kept me waiting, and the potential larger screen versions... Aargh! This is simply intolerable.

Although one wonders why they then made an Icelandic keyboard?

I'll bet some nitwit figured there must be Windows on the nordic Eee because that is what people know. and we will pay for it. (in blood, sweat, frustration, as usual. and more cold hard currency..) :P “”How can they logically give up on a release for the most developed countries in the world?”"
