I think that if the extra letters/symbols were to get to me, by then the Athena will be out so I'll be obsessing over the next BB device.
Great, now I have to move Arabic symbols back onto the cons list... (no offense to anyone in UAE who sees value in them!)
The yellow Arabic letters on my red Passport's keyboard are very discrete and I don't even notice them any more, the yellow is more muted than what shows up in the image, too., although the contrast might be a little different against a black keyboard.
I am going to get the Passport Silver Edition (love my Passport very much) and if I have to get it with the Arabic symbols, too, I won't hesitate. Besides, the smaller extra symbols appear about the same to me as the ALT numbers and symbols on my Priv's physical keyboard, just are located to the right and down instead of to the right or left and up as on the Priv. With absolutely no disrespect meant to Conite for his opinion, I can't imagine why anyone would think there was a difference in the two and get tired of looking at them, and no one has ever complained about getting tired of looking at the Priv's ALT keyboard symbols. I don't even notice them on my Passport any more.
The Arabic should not be a con on your list, maybe more in the neutral column. Who knows? Maybe you can learn another language. I am thinking of studying Arabic just out of curiosity.
