Given the size of the goal and the possible 5-6 month lead time, I think the success of the KS campaign will revolve around the generosity and number of benefactors (those pledging above $140) as opposed to simple buyers.
The lead time may be an issue ... since one would imagine that a new Jolla will have been announced some time prior to fulfilment and may already be available. It may be that it retains TOH compatibility, and it may be that Jolla have let Dirk know as much (though in my opinion this would likely result in another very compromised device) but I don't think there's any way that Jolla would announce that now.
Either way, good work and good luck Dirk et al. Will probably make a pledge, though won't go for TOHKBD (however much I pledge) as I can't see myself still using the Jolla in April of next year.

Hey, @dirkvl, I've got an idea for an additional perk or maybe a stretch goal:
It is clear that many phone cases won't be compatible with the TOHKBD, but there are some manufacturers that can produce custom cases for any size you specify. I have an especially good experience with FitBag - it's handmade and looks and fits great.
You could add a custom case for this TOHKBD, make a perk for, say 160EUR and make more money on it. It's easier than trying to learn german and typing in exact dimensions (which may change during the production anyways) when you just send a perfectly fitting bag/case without even having to handle it

What is this? The big perk-suggestion-day? Ok, I'll play along.
1. Ikea perk. Get all the parts assembly yourself.
2. Complete perk. Jolla device + tohkbd
3. Random perk. When ever the perk reach 200 eur a lottery kicks in and a winner is select from the contribution list.
4. Buy two is better than one. Bundle two.(slightly lower price)

Unless they're gonna go the Motorola way and fit a 5" display in a 4.5" body w/o any bezels but then how would you minimize an app? No bezel = no side swipe to minimize.

This is just wishful thinking IMHO, there has been no announcement whatsoever and AFAIK no work being done on updating the HW platform. And why should there be, the current HW is pretty neat and usable right now.
Maybe in a few years time, when there is something technologically new/exiting/useful available it would make sense to upgrade the HW platform.
With Jolla it is not about getting the newest HW, it is about getting the most exiting SW platform.
Besides, as I speculated in http://talk.maemo.org/showpost.php?p...&postcount=449 it well might be possible to adapt the TOHKBD to a new HW interface pretty easily/cheaply.
