seriously!?
Wtf!???!??!
I do hope that no one pledged something over there :/
And btw edit: Gratz guys! Been a while for a good project to get good funding so quickly, faith restored
EDIT: oh wow, as usually jumped to conclusion, the guy who copied over dirk's project should burn in hell, still the 'fund me without goal' option should not be dismissed,sorry

Now that the goal is reached, I wonder how much it has to be exceeded for injection molding.

I agree that Indiegogo is better though.

well, he's hit his target!! It's standing at around 70+k pledged!! I know I've done my part by pledging. Would love *not* to have a wood back plate though....oh well. 
Can't wait to get my grubby hands on it!!!!!
Ever since my N900 USB port broke, I've been surviving on touchscreen typing with my Jolla and been dreaming about a hw keyboard since I bought the phone. So close yet so far!
Go dirkvl!!

The pledges just reached 600. Magnificent!
One thing I am worried, though;
@dirkvl, what are you going to do if the preorders run up to 10k or so?? There's absolutely no way anyone can assemble the truckload of TOHKBD's by hand... you'd need to set up a dedicated factory for that?

First of all, congrats dirkvl!
About delivering the devices, yeah it might be worth at least to check if there is some facility that can do the soldering work. After all it's a relatively simple PCB so it doesn't require highly skilled (and expensive) operator.
On the other side, I hope Jolla supports Dirk with a few extra phones, as snapping in-and-out 600+ TOH is quite a 'stress test'
