Will the driver enable those to be flipped into landscape as well, to make the Jolla a more landscape-oriented phone with the keyboard?
I would be happy to pay the TOHKBD guys a full cost of another TOHKBD if they managed to fix that in their driver.EDIT: Why does my post show up twice in Active Topics? I have not done anything special to deserve such special treatment!
EDIT 2: Never mind, the duplicate disappeared after another post. Srange.

At least on on the N900 once the keyboard is opened the screen orientation is locked to landscape, as you usually don't want the screen to be in portrait at all when using the keyboard.
Edit: Sorry Pichlo, I think I stepped on the special treatment of your post.
I think I've seen duplicate listings in Active Topics before, though; a forum software issue?

Mine arrived yesterday. Too bad that the software support was still missing when I left to work today. Oh well, I left the keyboard part at home and put the phone with the new black back cover in my pocket.
Fast forward 6 hours and now my phone looks like it's been attacked by a pack of lions. Full of random scratches from my nails, pocket lint and tabletops.
Also I have to admit that I was somewhat disappointed by the velvet feel what the TOHKBDv2 has. I was expecting bit smoother and lot durable finish.
But I've waited since Mid 2013 for Jolla with physical keyboard. I think I can oversee the minor disappointments after I've got it working.
With N900 I could not wish more button rows. But after I jumped to Motorola Droid 4 I saw the light. Yesterday I was dry-typing (no sw support) with TOHKBD and I have to admit that I was smiling. I could almost imagine letters appearing to the screen. + the tactile feedback felt good.

Ability for keyboard to lock the orientation is nice, NB the word "ability" i.e., configurable ;-)

Just some generic smudges here and there.

Shapeways print will never look very professional, but at least it gets less obvious after some time (except for the fading colors).

Having the TOHKBD opened helps having my Jolla in my hands in a nice loose grip while browsing the web.
And fast scroll to Top/Bottom of the page via Home/End keys - thats something that I have been missing in the native browser.
Can't really use it for typing due to lack of proper layout.

Still haven't received mine in post or received any email. But all Scandic THKD should arrive next week the latest then, judging from Dirks previous posts. Can live with that.
