So the new Lauta is going to be a mid, high or low end ? Have you decided what OS will have ? If you go with mainstream android, how much of a trouble would be in terms of logistic, to sell a Sailfish version with official support (assuming that Jolla does the port) ?

Just an idea. Include a microfiber cloth.

Question: The side shot with the keyboard shows one side of the case is 20% longer than the other. Is that because there is a fold that fills around and velcros when the case is closed?

Are you going to put a connector on the wire between the battery and the PCB ?
(e.g.: like inside Apple iPhones which use some ZIF socket. Not like inside Braun Toothbrushes that solder the battery straight to the PCB)
It's not as user friendly as a removable backcover,
but at least it could be replaced by dis-assembling the phone only,
no need to do desoldering / resoldering of wires (with all things like heat and lithium not being very good friends together).

As the PCB is not back-cover friendly, I presume that there are no contact points for wireless charging neither ?

If I had money to design from scratch, I will make it "removable battery friendly" and the follow up design is easy.
and add tons of hacker-friendly contacts ? :-D

Well, we'll see. Maybe one day, by the time of "Youyota phone 3", you'll be rich enough to afford the risks...

Funny, the 2k is actually a very European and non-British notation since it is a metric multiplier (and you know how long it's taking for Anglo-Saxons to catch up with the metric system).

Only because everyone here would kick off if you served them 68ml less beer!

I filled out a form at the doctor's the other day (not an important one). It asked what my weight is so I put 0.93kN

Then in the future. Maybe.

Isn't there any well design qwerty sliders in China that can be used or all that expensive the can't be used or too crapy to use?
Remember that Chen already produced sliding mechanism, accepted by Motorola standards and delivered working jolla tablet.
Dual-sim shouldn't be problem for him, because market is saturated by cheap chinese smartphones with dual-sim that simply works.

What can be problem is world-wide working LTE modem. N9 got worldwide baseband. It's much more important for travelers than dual-sim IMHO.

Dual-sim is the most important thing for travellers. Local prepaid sims are very useful outside EU roaming area. I hate swapping sim cards/having two phones.

I think it very much depends on where you come from and what kind of subscriptions you have access to in your country. I travel relatively often for work and worldwide 3G or LTE is much more important for me than dual-sim.

I don't mind dual-sim at all, it can be useful to some and is inexpensive, so why not. I'm actually happy I have it on the Jolla C even though I don't need it personally, it helped me convincing my girlfriend that it was a good phone for her since she's a foreigner and did not want to give up her phone number when she moved in another country.

But in my own case, there is just no need for another SIM. I am currently an expat for two years and did not even consider changing my subscription for a local one, the subscription I have in my home country gives me unlimited international calls/texts/mms and 50 GB of fair use wherever I want (16€/month), so it works during short trips as well. Worldwide data network is by far what matters the most for me.

Yeah. But has he built à phone before? Shouldn't be. Famous last words

It will probably be fine.
