In Search of the = sign

Last night, a reader noted that the = sign on the Nokia E63 keypad does not seem to work. The symbol is on the top of the o so normally you can press the function key and it would work but sure enough, when I tried it, I couldn't make the = happen.

So far, none of the discussion boards have yielded an answer except that you can use the symbols grid to access = sign (which isn't really an answer to this burning question of why the = cannot be accessed on the keypad).

Have we discovered an glitch in the E63 matrix?

EDIT: Just thought I would test the other keys and summarise what I've found

• Function key + O does not give = and nothing shows up | Shift + O doesn't work either
• Function key + @ does not give ( but instead / shows up | Shift + @ works
• Function key + / does not give ) but instead / shows up. | Shift + /works
• Function key + ' does give the & sign
• Function key + ? does give the ! sign
• Function key + U does give the * sign
• Function key + J does give the # sign
• Function key + I does give the + sign
• Function key + K does give the - sign
• Function key + , does give the ; sign
• Function key + . does give the : sign
