Norway, too, has the 789 at the top.  I found this amusing, because,
as Telecom readers know, Norway is also one of the few places in the
world where DIAL telephones are numbered backwards.  But whereas the
backward dial is not used in Oslo, the upside-down keypad is
apparently used throughout the country.
