You can add "missing" keys to the toolbar that appears when you open the 
keyboard - I had to rummage through google a bit to find out how though. 
Managed without backtick, but not having pipe was a killer.

Oh - vi is packaged for it, but it's not a full vim experience - don't 
expect plugins to work.

Note - I love my N810 and use it to ssh into various machines, but I 
wouldn't do any typing on it from choice. The keyboard is better than a 
touch-screen, but still a PITA. My netbook is about as small a keyboard 
as I can cope with for real typing rather than bashing out a short 
note/email.
