... then use the better cases.

I feel the need to point out that the demand for this is enthusiast-only and probably short-term (someone will come out with a HW kb Jolla/Nemo phone sooner or later).

Is there much point adding things that will never be supported? You need to first establish a price point. This involves anticipating demand because obviously you need to be sure of selling 200+. Looking at poll, aim for 300 Euros or lower...

Then fix the feature set and don't be tempted to mess with it too much later. Then start taking pre-orders a la Kickstarter.

More sophisticated devices could be built later once you've established a track record of actually getting a phone out. No disrespect but let's face it: it's so epic, it's hard to believe.
When I said n900 case is perfect I was focusing my opinion in the fact that dos1 and joerg refer that project to a new PCB..

talking about creating a new case is a lose of time in my opinion and the creation of a new device.

who wants to invest in a new case?

new case means no more n900.

talking about the PCB would it be possible to change the speakers connectors? so we would be able to put bigger ones like the n95 , e90, bb9900.

that change doesn't require case mod's.
