FM transmitter is fun. So I thght why not putting it all together. I wanted the best of everything in one device. A powerful Computer that could be more like the N900 and combination of Jolla's SailfishOs and Maemeemo...

Interesting concept: http://www.alphaui.com/en/twiky-product/
Video here : http://www.alphaui.com/en/user-benefits/

It looks a lot than an enhanced Microwriter : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwriter.

Not sure it would fit on a 4.5" Jolla and still be usable, as current version is for 7" tablet, and the hand size remains... but the idea still stands.

I wonder how is the speed of typing text with this and the learning curve ?

Do you guys like this keyboard?

seems cheap!

Re: Ideal keyboard design and configuration
 

i used that droid for awhile. not a BAD keyboard, but i prefer slightly more sensible arrow keys. {id also prefer ANY numeric-row keyboards, even if it stabbed me in the eye every time i used it}

Re: Ideal keyboard design and configuration
 

I really like the N97 and E7 style keyboard and how they slid out and tilted at an angle

Re: Ideal keyboard design and configuration
 

I haven't noticed anyone mentioning about the Nokia E75 keyboard. I know there aren't arrows, but I loved that keyboard and it's the best I ever had.

Re: Ideal keyboard design and configuration --sacrifice camera for bigger keyboard??
 

Okay, so the biggest keyboard that fits under the jolla -while being centered and not covering the camera is 92mm.

That means the N900 is the biggest that will fit.

Any bigger than that and the camera will be covered if the keyboard is not extended. Is this worth it?

Re: Ideal keyboard design and configuration
 

No, I don't like it: asymmetric, and too few keys for serious language localizing.

Re: Ideal keyboard design and configuration --sacrifice camera for bigger keyboard??
 

When is it not covering the camera? With the keyboard open, or closed?

I think that being able to use the camera only with keyboard open is an acceptable solution. But opening keyboard like on the Desire Z would be more problematic than sliding out like on the N900 (as it would be further from the camera, thus maybe reducing its viewing angle).

NOOoooo!

bad keyboard, too little travel, too flat keys and the material is rubbery. You almost have to sink your fingernails in the rubber to type. Later DROID's allegedly had far better keyboards.
