Read here, comments #29 and #30 for the problem on the "shift" symbols:

Also your Vario II has german keyboard layout (QWERTZ instead of QWERTY), so you need to change this through registry:

The suitable value for German Hermes keyboard is 20407 (132103 in decimal).

ok bare with me
i Goto the following registry entry

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Oem\Qwerty]
right i did that
There is a key called 'Layout' and it is in Decimal.
suitable value for German Hermes keyboard is 20407 i entered that then waited about a minute then did a soft reset. but i still get the same problem, and for the shift key problem do i a hard reset and right as it getting ready to install the cingular cab i softreset it,
mot letting shortString_keypad_XML.CAB install, but what about the otherthings what will i be missing and where do i find them

Anyone know the values for the Cingular 8525? The US value on the MS site isn't working, and neither is the default values given on the wiki
