SOFTWARE VERSION: (Settings > General > About product) 10.2010.19-1 EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: (Explain in detail what you do (e.g. tap on OK) and what you see (e.g. message Connection Failed appears)) 1. Set the onscreen keyboard layout to Polish 2. Try typing "Zażółć gęślą jaźń" using the fullscreen onscreen keyboard EXPECTED OUTCOME: Possible to do and comfortable. ACTUAL OUTCOME: It's impossible to do and the layout still doesn't make any sense to Polish users at all. 1) There is letter "ç" in the layout. We don't use this letter at all. 2) Letters "ć" and "Ć" are missing. 3) Letters "ó" and "Ó" are missing. 4) Letters "ź" and "Ź" are missing. 5) Letters "ń" and "Ń" are missing. 6) Letters "ś" and "Ś" are missing. 7) Letters "ą", "Ą" and "ę", "Ę" are available on the third screen (tap the "1#+" button and then up arrow to get there) instead of the second screen (just tap the "1#+" button), but they are used a lot more often than many characters from the second screen, so this design choice doesn't make any sense. REPRODUCIBILITY: (always, less than 1/10, 5/10, 9/10) Always. EXTRA SOFTWARE INSTALLED: OTHER COMMENTS: The helper onscreen keyboard when the physical keyboard is open is actually OK, so please don't confuse the two.

I know this may fall on deaf ears, but this could have been avoided had there been community testing of this firmware, just like there was with PR1.1.1.
I find the virtual keyboard perfectly acceptable. Letters "ć", "Ć", "ó", "Ó", "ź", "Ź", "ń", "Ń", "ś", "Ś" can be entered using the "´" key followed by the appropriate letter. Letters "ą", "Ą", "ę", "Ę" can be entered using the "˛" key followed by the appropriate letter. All available on the first screen. Suggesting resolution INVALID.
Boy do I feel dumb now :)
