you'd have a wider range of designs to choose from, just need to add pins and magnets on the back.
- The Phone is massively unbalanced, because the battery is in the Display unit, so typing isn't really comfortable.
- The Phone is thicker
- The whole thing is quite instable (not software wise but hardware) and doesn't give you a lot of trust in not loosing the display unit.
I have tohkbd and I merely use it for that reasons.

I tend to agree with @fellfrosch's points. Just as most-if-not-all keyboard accessories meant to be used with a tablet, "converting" it to a laptop don't work for the very same reasons; the end result is not a good tablet nor a good laptop 
It is essential to have a solid connection between the lower part containing the KBD and the upper part with display, and to get the balancing right the battery just has to be located in the lower part, else the construction is very uncomfortably balanced.

I think we need a big banner on the first post explaining why the screen size is set, to prevent this recurring debate.
For those of us who sit watching this thread it looks like people just aren't getting the message / complaining even though the answer has been given several times, but in reality it's probably just because newcomers aren't reading the whole thread and the information is buried (even though it's linked from the first post, it could be more explicit).

And he has a working reference design for a 5.5" device. (Not sure where from, but that's what I understood.)
So now all he has to do is combine those in a single device. Which is easier than starting from scratch, but is still a very big effort considering he only has a small team.

A friend of mine came up with an interesting idea about N900 and I think it may be great to include it in Livermorium.
The idea is: shift/fn on the back of the device just as L1/R1 keys on a game pad, to be pressed with an index finger. This would make it possible to type special characters much more quickly. I don't insist on removing usual shift/fn but what about adding such extra keys?
This would certainly be innovative. And it would be nice to configure these, because some other use would be to have left/right in sich a form.

Was busy finishing the Keyboard Mod. But some progress was also made with this device.
This is the look when the slider is closed.

The design is great, you didn't lie when you said Lauta, and that's awesome.
Slightly bevelled corners as on the N950 would save our pants though.
