Nokia N810 as a Squeak PDA?

Has anyone out there actually had their hands on a Nokia N810 running
Squeak? I'm concerned about keyboard issues. According to one review I
read, several special characters are not on the keyboard, and to get them
you have to pick from some kind of screen gadget. Sounds like some kind of
GTK applet that might not work in Squeak. How is the N810 keyboard from
Squeak?
I've been using Palm for many years, and all I use is memos and phone book
entries. I'm not syncing with anything except the (yucky!) Palm desktop
app. It wouldn't be hard to stitch together some off-the-shelf morphs to
give me what I need in Squeak.
One other concern I have outside of Squeak is that it seems to be not so
straightforward to load apps for older versions of the Nokia internet
tablets on the new OS. This is a pain! A body can get awfully used to the
idea that all it takes to install something is ./configure, make, make
install. Learning maemo just to port old apps myself seems like more of a
project that I want for this device ...
-Thanks, Jim
