Keyboard layout "manager" for E70

Did someone thought about some kind of keyboard layout manager for E70? Nokia have little bit strange ideas how should our local keyboard layout looks like, so i really would like to modify/create my own one. As far is i know, there is no existing way how to do it, becase keyboard layout is "implemented" (hardcoded) in region specific firmware (and becase i'm from Czech, there is no other region, which will have characters, which i need).

So, one way is to "hack" firmware (before loading to phone, or in the phone) to modify existing layout, and second is to write some app, which will catch key press and modify it before sending to system. I have no idea, if this is even technicaly possible, but maybe someone here already thought about such a thing...
