Re curved keyboard, anyone who hold the 9900, for example, and move both thumbs, will find that they follow exactly the pattern of the curve, a most natural combination. The additional line of functional keys can easily be placed straight to the screen just as the 99000, just two phone buttons on both ends are smaller, which is perfectly fine. Curved keyboard is aesthetically pleasing too.
