I'm waiting for Chinese input too, but I hope they have enough sense to make it an add-on to the existing OS rather than a completely different OS like they do with BlackBerry phones.
Though RIM has been good about making BlackBerry phones work with different languages in different countries, they seem to assume that no one communicates with people outside their home country.
I assume they will make it like the did it on their phones, maybe the QNX guy's need to adopt some things from the RIM tech. Like the surepress and autocomplete and language packs.
So I hope this is coming in the near future, I (my gf) would also like the Chinese input option.
im waiting for the jap keyboard too.. but tough luck since RIM didn't launch pb in japan and think nobody in this world using that language.....
it happened to 9520 drm now pb... i feel cheated
