Another fortnight before Bonner's are expecting the first delivery of the new S-Series keyboards :cry:

On the brighter side they have offered me six hundred and four quid for my S900 in part exchange for a S950 and they will be calling me when they are in so I can go and try it out :D :D

    Whilst I have certainly got use to the rubber buttons now I do hope they have 'ditched' them for something better on the S950 ... they do look better quality in these close ups - but I reckon they could still be rubber :roll:

Hi Mike
These were sent to me by Deane but they are very poor quality films and don't realy tell us much. Look forward to the official ones. Can't be long now.
