I love the N900 exclusively because of the keyboard.

Now, I've followed Jolla for a long time. About a year before it became available. The other half always intrigued me, and as it came available I wondered why there was no official keyboard TOH available? Surely it's not that hard to design for a group of 60 ppl.

Well, apparently it was, I had heard that someone was developing a slideout keyboard for Jolla but didn't give it much attention because my attention was elsewhere.

Now, a year later we have this. Dirk, our messiah. My ****ing god, Dirk. My saviour.

A few days ago a friend of mine gave me a 100€ discount code for Jolla (codes that have circulated these forum, but this one unused), and I started looking again at Jolla. Now 250€ for a new phone, not to mention Jolla was exactly what I needed.

250€ for a Jolla, Not bad. I had been looking for a new phone for a while, but nothing could beat the greatness of the N900. I still knew everything that makes the Jolla do good and I've had the pleasure to test my friends Jolla, I knew that especially with something like this, Dirks keyboard coming out, this was the phone for me.

I ordered my Jolla earlier today. and I'm going to support Dirks tohkbd kickstarter immediately when it comes out.

I feel that even without the immediate tohkbd this will be a new love in my life.
Wooow, I do not know what to say, THANKS

I think you should add a few higher levels (>200), with some virtual rewards. For people that want to support and have some extra cash on the side, but don't need 5 keyboards. Remember that kickstarter steals quite a lot of money in taxes (40k out of those 55 will probably reach you, if 70 euro out of each 100 is enough then disregard that)
edot: especially when the time will start running out and there will be a bit left missing (typos fixed)

Kickstarter And Amazon will take approx 10% (5% each or smth) of the collected funds as a fee, by the way, but I'm sure this is the right decision.

I wonder if you got sponsored by Jolla in doing this as this project will earn Jolla some(/much) visibility too . And Lastucase too... If not, they should have

Is there a video / animation on how the user may slide the keyboard to open or close it?

Edit: reducing the footprint because this post didn't serve a purpose. It was about the unfinished KS pledges, no info.
