Key points:
-android applications will support true multitasking too
-the other half can be used like work / free time profiles, ring-tones, including different email profiles, overall look of the device, and even different apps (the other half is recognized wirelessly)
-the concept is build the way it technically supports any add-ons
-you can buy more of these other halves in future
How true that really is, I don't know.

Let's speculate a bit more about the big bezels and the overall large size of the device: What if it is intended to be larger than normal phones? I'm thinking about the modularity of the phone and the possible HWKB. Maybe they want the keyboard to be larger and in that way more user friendly (~E90 likish) with more area for the keyboard and larger buttons. Just thinking.. 
E: maybe the real reason for the bezel in bottom of the screen is that it is for the android applications (menu, back button) but they are hidden in the UI

"Sailfish-puhelin tulee olemaan kumppanien mukaan räätälöity älypuhelin ja hinnaltaan Jolla-puhelinta edullisempi."
makes me think that it will be designed primarily for the needs of network operators.

So the screen resolution is not yet set nor is the dual core processor.
So I assume there be a lot of changes as form the video you saw how much the OS changed!

I'd at least assume that SailfishOS is likely to be (ultimately) as customizable as Maemo. At least, that'd be the hope.
With that in mind... if and/or when they reveal for certain that there will be an external keyboard accessory - and one that DOESN'T require its own charging setup like pretty much every iPhone keyboard I've looked at - I'll likely pick one up as a replacement for my n900. But not one femtosecond earlier.
