True, but it's not a done deal yet. The intressting here the customer base they are targeting with this first device. I'm not sure how the public user using their smartphone in china. But I doubt a keyboard version would win a voteing contest anywhere in the world. No the meego community that voted at jollatides.com are exreamly small in a big sea of users. Now, they might release a beta phone for the community and devs to helping them to create a ecosystem of some sort and move to a thin screen phone to compete for market shares.

I hope for a keyboard device in any state. But a keyboard version means more advanced construction if we are talking quality hardware.

I still don't belive a keyboard version UNTIL I sees it
