Re: So, what should a qwerty other half look like?

am really hoping there second half can use stuff like NFC to connect, or Qi charging so it'd be easy to just slap on an extendable battery.

oh yeah I get that, but a keyboard with a constant bluetooth connection is going to tax that battery.

What made you think that NFC is less power hungry than BT4? :eek:

That red "button" is in fact a nipple and is used for controlling the mouse cursor. Kinda like a tiny joystick. It was used on laptops before touchpads were invented.

Cool.

Thank you all for your comments! I think it has been proven once again that there is a need for a qwerty phone.

Does anyone have a 3D model of the Jolla phone? Then it would be easier for me to construct and show you how I would like it to look.

Keep it up with the ideas and post more pictures!

Re: So, what should a qwerty other half look like?

silly question...
if iPotato5 and SG4 get hw kbd from 3rd party, isn't this proof that there is a market for hw kbd?
the companies which produce them usually generate junkish stuff at even more ridicule cost then the price they sell it for, so it is more hassle to get & keep it working then it really delivers useful fonction
why not... be different?
design the hw kbd other half and integrate it nicely in the OS :cool:

Jolla phone will be thinner than the one shown and screen will also be bigger with less of the bezzel visible for those who were worried

I thought NFC was just the connection protocol and BT took over after the handshake was completed? So either way its pretty screwed.
