I might pay 150€ for it if it really is functional and reliable. If it's price was 100€, I wouldn't demand as much functionality, but I still wouldn't spend even that much money if it wasn't reliable at least.

Just my two cents.

PS: don't still make it look like a frankenkbd : P
That sums up my opinion quite well, too.

150€ is quite a lot of money for a keyboard - for the same money, you can get an Android smartphone with hardware similar to Jolla's...

But with a fully functional and well built ("professional feeling") hardware keyboard the Jolla would really be a unique device again.
I can live with limited/no choice of customization (although I would love a German layout QWERTZ keybord) if function and quality are good.

For 100,-€ I could live with a device that blocks the camera when keyboard is opened (not that much of a deal to snap it back in - but NOT acceptable the other way round, e.g. keyboard has to be pulled out to take a photo), but a 150,-€ device should make it possible to take photos in both states.
