They said they'll start with a mass market device. There were rumprs of an exotic enthusiast device coming out, but those are just rumors.
Perhaps if Jolla doesn't come out with their keyboard phone some other OEM would do it.
And regarding whether or not it's a copy? Who cares? Does it actively try to imitate a specific mobile OS (see old Touchwiz versions vs. iOS)?
It doesn't. It takes concepts from other mobile OSes, but that's what all nee technologies do. Incremental improvement, much like how many browsers followed suit once one went tabs-on-top.

Well, the openness of the UI is still a big question.
Other than that, things I would expect to be closed: audio/video codecs, some drivers, Chinese input methods, Flash (if available), that Android runtime and maybe some of the distinguishing Jolla made applications & maybe some third-party apps (official Twitter, Facebook, etc. apps).
Just tell how they make money on the OS if fully open :O Not even Google do that and they main bussiness is not OS. In Jolla case mainbussiness IS the OS.
If you can deliver a solution for making money on fully open sourced OS you should send it too Jolla I am sure they are intrested in that.
Too many people has no bussiness perspective in this forum and thinks like childs of fanatic Rickard Stallman.
Ofcourse as much as possible shall be open but fully open is just a just as a wet teenage dream.

Going in others footsteps will not get jolla anywhere. New models are needed!!!

They are running sailfish on N950 but they have never used the keyboard, not even once (I think). I agree with Hurrian here.

But I am sure that you can get one and use it for the device (By bluetooth or such stuff..)

I wonder will the final product be different from what we have been shown in these videos
