Man I know that even 130€ is perfectly fine - though as a student with limited financial possibilities, I'll definitely try to get one for 100€.

Your project is awesome!

Keep up the spirit :-)

Being a kickstarter project there are many advantages, like more visibility so there will be more money for the project, larger production batches, etc.

I'm in, waiting to have again a hw-kbd since Nokia N900.

Re: TOHKBD rev2
 
I'm a four year user of the N900 and the N900 keyboard has been the single most important factor for me not to upgrade to another phone. I've tried a lot of other phones, but no other phone has been able to provide me with an equally good feel and responsiveness and usability than the N900 has. I love the N900 exclusively because of the keyboard.

Now, I've followed Jolla for a long time. About a year before it became available. The other half always intrigued me, and as it came available I wondered why there was no official keyboard TOH available? Surely it's not that hard to design for a group of 60 ppl.

Well, apparently it was, I had heard that someone was developing a slideout keyboard for Jolla but didn't give it much attention because my attention was elsewhere.

Now, a year later we have this. Dirk, our messiah. My ****ing god, Dirk. My saviour.

A few days ago a friend of mine gave me a 100€ discount code for Jolla (codes that have circulated these forum, but this one unused), and I started looking again at Jolla. Now 250€ for a new phone, not to mention Jolla was exactly what I needed.

250€ for a Jolla, Not bad. I had been looking for a new phone for a while, but nothing could beat the greatness of the N900. I still knew everything that makes the Jolla do good and I've had the pleasure to test my friends Jolla, I knew that especially with something like this, Dirks keyboard coming out, this was the phone for me.

I ordered my Jolla earlier today. and I'm going to support Dirks tohkbd kickstarter immediately when it comes out.

I feel that even without the immediate tohkbd this will be a new love in my life.
