Babelfish has this to say:

So, it looks like LVD has only adapted the device for Cyrillic characters and Russian menu. Rendering functionality is not developed enough.

I still wonder what happens with special characters, like "ç", "ñ" or "ß". I asked LVD last week, but no answer so far.

Other interesting stuff:

Both a USB 2.0 Card Reader (cool, since the V8 is only 1.1) and 128 Mb SD card are included with the package.

Battery charging can be achieved also with the connection through USB.

The time of complete charging both from the usual rosette and from USB is approximately 3 hours

charger with Mini USB by joint
If I understood correctly, the battery can be recharged in 3 hours either by connecting the USB port on the V8 directly to the power outlet or to a USB port on the computer.

The website for the Russian V8 does not have an English version (garbled text). The shop looks empty as of now. The V2 is also there, with a tentative launch date of 10-11/06 at 1855 grn (Yahoo says that's 294 €).
