I'm guessing that pictures 1, 3, 5, and 6 are all in portrait mode. Picture 5 is probably a prototype that sans the backspace and space keys, for some odd reason. I have a feeling that 1 and 3 will be the ones they will use. Picture 6 is the number and symbol keys in portrait mode. Pictures 3 and 5 are definitely in landscape mode, and they look to be final.

Everything seems clear to me except Picture 5. That's a pretty odd implementation IMO.]]>Nov 25th 2009 5:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/windows-mobile-looks-to-be-getting-new-native-keyboard-in-6-5-3/http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/25/windows-mobile-looks-to-be-getting-new-native-keyboard-in-6-5-3/1) Small key mode: pic1 (normal state) & pic2 (shifted state).
2a) Big key mode: pic1 (normal state) & pic4 (shifted state).
2b) Big key mode without Shift, Backspace, Enter, and Space keys because you use gestures instead (the gestures are available in every mode btw): pic5.
Pic4 is the 123 view, which is the same for every mode of the keyboard.
