If they've cancelled the company split, does that mean they may still be interested in hardware?

Will anyone even care when (or if) they actually have something to release?

In worstcase, meaning no adittional financing at all, they surely would have dumped the Tablet claims and Jolla Phone support in "Bad Jolla" and sail on the remaining valuble asset and new deals with "Good Jolla".
That draconian measure seems to be of the table now.
To me this is the best news in a long time.
12 mio should give them at least another year to improve and take theyr chances.

Okay, now announce a Jolla phone successor with a hardware keyboard.

Or maybe that's actually optimistic, and they'll put all their limited resources into getting Sailfish to work on 3rd party H/W and licensing it.

Best outcome (dreaming here) would be that the community/dev program has a specialized device with the h/w keyboard. Use Intex, Turing etc to push commercial end-user devices and have Jolla sell devices for devs with keyboard etc

Oh yeah. Develop a completely new phone just for the pleasure of 100 people. Good idea. Way to go.

They've got three possible hardware partners already. Leave it to them. Find another few even that aren't so crap/niche.
Spend the 12 million on software development and community/developer engagement for their moribund OS and store.
