I still don't get it, why do they turn their back to their own target group by not including hw kb, what were they thinking? They all know we are the only ones that can help Jolla to succeed. They still haven't learned from the mistakes with N9. They don't see the big picture, the absence of a hardware keyboard is a huge letdown for the majority of mamo/meego users.
Jolla entered a niche market. But they don't understand that we are that niche market.
I have learnt one thing today, don't have high expections it will always disappoint you.
what Jolla needs (badly) right now... is CA$H
yep, sorry to have to point this out, but all the hush about "pre-order" is all about that $€ŁĄ getting in (long) before any device is
that's why.

So if it's compatible to Android Apps, does it mean you can go to their store to buy them or what/how?

for those who didn't follow the evolution of Jolla / Sailfish too closely so far, Bergius made a nice write up on it & is attending & reporting about Jolla's Love Day as well

Other thing is, that they might be able to get "best of both worlds" if the design is truly modular, so that hw keyboard can be added later. This makes sense in at least two ways:
- different markets have different keyboards layouts and character sets, so by making it add-on they don't have to spend on expensive localization schemes in manufacturing the phone itself
- When there is only one device that fits both hw keyboard users and those who don't need one, you only have one device to support, which is more cost effective and efficient when all kinds of resources are limited
It all boils down to question, if add-on keyboard can be made sturdy and slim enough.
