I guess I am somewhat different in that I joined the forum because of the Pro1. I do have an n900 however, but I retired it years ago to go back to a non-smartphone. Later tried to embrace keyboardless Android slabs, bought an e72 way past it's expiry date because I had trouble typing, retired that for another Android because the software soon started to fall apart (protocols changing so I couldn't use the old apps). Never quite got along with touchscreen typing, every so often looked if not I could find a nice qwerty phone, considered buying used xperia mini pro and the likes. Something always felt missing.

Now when I seen a phone is coming that has a keyboard and has otherwise great specs, it's like "FINALLY!!", I must have it! 2-stage camera button is also really nice and seriously adds points for me.

Other OSes working is a bonus too but as much as I dislike it I'm somewhat locked in to Android due to communications apps (telegram, farcebook massager, what is app) and my phone operators dumb app so I am glad it ships with that and probably will just make that work for me by removing some of googles trash and replacing it with less obnoxious stuff, installing a linux chroot so i can have gcc on the phone, etc. I'm not excluding the option to try and make the social trash run on Sailfish or so (if it has a proper web browser most have a webchat thing), but I am not counting on that.

In summary, yeah, it's pretty much just the keyboard, but I'm really excited to be getting one so I wish Chen a good luck and a smooth path to getting them shipped to us soon .
