I've had a Duo 230 since last October, and the keyboard has always
been bad in the usual way.

From the Duo FAQ (thanks Nick, great FAQ):

January. Which is why I waited three more months until taking my Duo
in to have the keyboard replaced in the hope of getting a "D"
(whatever it is).  Not just "hope", I specifically asked for a "D".
No chance. Apple dispatched a "C" to the dealer and that's in there now.

I guess I'm happy to get this fixed so easily, but this is to let
anybody else in Australia who wants a "D" keyboard know that you
might have to wait another couple of months yet.
