The same as used on the P900. There is nothing on the flip.

Yeah, but on the P800,900,910, there is a flip because there are no other physical buttons on the phone.
What is the point of having phisical buttons on the front of the flip on the P950/100 only to reveal more physical butons on the phone when the flip is open.
Which begs the question of whether there is a flip which is covering a larger screen, or is there not a flip at all and the screen is smaller.

so if the keyboard is actually built into the phone

does that mean the screen is actually smaller?

not really, as it has a different resolution and they pushed the sreen upwards.
here are the screen specs from http://hermione.cogia.net/
Dimensions: 4.5 x 6.0 cm
(P910 is: 4.2 x 6.4 cm)
so a little wider and a little shorter but overall 27 cubic cm (p950) to 26.88 cubic cm (p910)
that's because the screen resolution is 240*320....
imho the design is good, i on't like treo650 because of the keyboard, it just doesn't look right for a phone but with this design you can use it as a "phone" more comfortably, i always liked this idea from 380 till p910, it doesn't look as flashy as other phone pdas out there...
oh and finally i can say that the p series size is near perfection, just look at this picture, and only 20mm....
i just hope it has wifi and then i'm sold

Check this out
http://www.engadget.com/entry/1234000727055354/
The bottom post sayes that he has held the device, and this is exactly how it looks, with a qwerty keypad behind the flip. How pointless is that, 2 keypads, whats the point of the flip then?... they have just waisted valuble screen space. Dissapointed.

I think is for giving it a phone style and not a PDA, it's easy to use a numeric keyboard when you are using it as a phone (making calls), it's other PDAs lacks and PXXX had

If that were the case, why would SE abandon the near-perfect solution of the P910?
No, it's a stupid decision, which results in a phone I will never buy. I'd sooner go for a Nokia Communicator... |

@Karel Jansens: I don't think the flip in P910 was a near-perfect solution, despite of it had a very reliabale construction, it was a litle larger when it was open and not too comfortable sometimes, that's why some people removed the flip from their Pxxx
And personally, i don't like Blokia Comunicaor, i think is a litlle bulky and doesn't compare to Pxxx series

The new P950 design and arrangement for the keypad probably makes the unit smaller and thiner and therefore more attractive. Most people don't like bulky devices. This is for the mass market not just us geeks - perhaps SE has a geeky devices in the works as well.

the nokia communicator 9300 is a great device. it's so small, the keyboard so useable, but it has one major flaw: NO TOUCH SCREEN !!!!
if that weren't so, i think i would have gone back to nokia already.
i really like the size and shape ...
i think i would miss UIQ, though.
oh, and all the software i bough 
i don't trust the keypad-under-screen image, as well as the "i touched it" report.
but what i do take as pretty serious is the overall design, with it's p900-style buttons (love 'em!!) and the slicker design.

I saw this, after waiting for a P1000 (or whatever) for so long. Most disappointed, and I have a friend who works for o2 who says that is the final design after I quizzed him hard about it.
So I've just been out and bought a Trëo 650 to replace my ageing P900.
It's actually very nice! |

People, Nokia 9500 is aimed at business people who need to create content, its not just a PDA/phone its a laptop replacement. I have owned the P910, Nokia 9500, 9300, 7710 and the Treo 650. My view is that the P910 (and probably the P950) are aimed at people who would be interested in the Treo 650 style of device - tablet, touch screen, quick one-handed operation and in general used to carry around content copied/synced from a PC/laptop. The 9500 on the other hand, again IMHO, can be used to create and manage content. Also the wide screen of the 9500/9300 gives you a different experience, especially when using Opera. Think of the 9500/9300 as the Psion 5 & Revo and the P9xx as being like the original Palm Pilot - different concepts using similar technologies.
