Please do that. In the meantime I will try to hit Jolla's head. My biggest concern is that they using n9 as the reference device and trying to copy it as much as possible. N9 ll would not do it.

My hope is that they think outside the box and continue with the disk phone.

I dunno about hitting Jollas head - but I think you've hit yours and now you're off it

Myself, I wouldn't say using the N9 as a 'reference' would be too bad a thing - obviously with better / faster / upgraded h/w, maybe a slightly bigger screen, but similar form. And swipe would be superb.

Jolla maximum plus with 5" sceen+swipe+all software is better, especially contacts, mail must be improved atleast 50%.

But this will be a dev device phone and not really a business phone so some usability trade off have to be made.

I personally don't use neither G+ nor Twitter or FB. So Jolla's Twitter communication is a rather unpleasant treatment as well.

May be something like Mer planet can be created, which will aggregate feeds from developers and other involved people around Mer into one user friendly feed? http://planet.merproject.org or something?

Something like this sort:

http://planet.mozilla.org
http://planet.debian.org
http://planetkde.org
http://planet.gnome.org
http://planet.jabber.org

It'll really be very helpful to see what's going on.

My translation from the article:

"Mechanical keyboard is not dead. None has been able to make a traditional communicator in a long period. I think there is a demand for that. I sometimes use Nokia N900 myself."

Wow. Let's hope they have guts to follow that belief

Yep, that's what I want. A communicator! Not some lame "smartphone".

I've been using now SGS3 for almost 4 months. I was using N900 before that for 3 years. I must say, I do not miss mechanical keyboard anymore. I have become quite fast typing with Swiftkey auto-correction, also (and mainly) in portrait mode/orientation. I did have a small bluetooth keyboard with me on a vacation, but I didn't really need it and prolly won't keep it with me on future trips.

I'd rather use extra weight and thickness to have larger battery, than keyboard. I used to think otherwise just 4 months ago.
