Hi Julien,

I am not aware of any plans to release Dev Phone for other then US
countries. However, I've got an idea how you can use other (French for
instance) layout with your Dev 1.
I assume French G1 has French version of the /system/usr/keychars/
keypad-v3.kcm.bin keychar map file. If so, then you can ask somebody
with French G1 to get the file for you so you can substitute the file
on your Dev 1 with the French version. Then, just stick a couple of
new labels on the keyboard to match your layout. :)
The above works with Russian version of the file. Unfortunately,
switching between keyboard layouts is not that easy...

Regards,
Sergey
