Keyboard Layouts

[Guest Leela]

Hi,

I own an XDA2, currently unlocked and running on the orange network.

It is a British version and has a british keyboard layout. I would prefer a German one.

I searched for software to change it, but did not find anything suitable. I get the impression that I won't be able to do this without doing a firmware update.

If I apply a German firmware update to my device will it still function on Orange UK ? What are the pitfalls of doing this?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks in advance
