Sorry to be asking that, but just to clarify:

- Are you planning on starting the campaign with only the mockups to show up or do you already have a prototype, contact with e.g. the keypad suppliers or anything palpable?

- Are you making all this (design, dealing with the campaign and production) alone?

- I understand you have won some kind of challenge, does that mean Lenovo will, in any way, help with the device production?

The prototype is under engineering. I have already broke 2 dev boards. We are getting there.

No I am partnering with a professional design and manufacturering company. They have partnership with Foxconn for all there devices, including this one. Will have professional quality control.

All your questions will hopefully be answered when the formal campaign launches

Having a clear line and not listening to late Brainstorming too much is enough proof of competence for me.
Please Sir, put a price tag on it and take my money.

Is the Motorola Z actually the right device for Sailfish?
I mean, as soon as Motorola drops support for the device or Qualcomm drops support for the chipset we're SOL regarding future sailfish/driver updates etc..
Aren't we?

Unless I missed the news of Qualcomm releasing its sources which would help us "bypass" all future problems regarding updates and driversupport, this will be a problem.

Yes and No.

Sailfish still works on an old kernel version so until that changes it should be fine for any future Sailfish updates.

Driver updates are of course at the mercy of Qualcomm and Motorola, but in general unless there is some kind of problem with the driver using an old version is fine.

Aside from that, the purpose of using the Motorola Z is because of the Moto Mods functionality, which saves Chen from having to create a whole device and allows him to focus on just the keyboard part of it.

Thanks for that! Yes it is absolutely correct. Building a keyboard only is so much easier than a phone, given the current budget.

It also has a purpose of showing how much interest the market has. If this keyboard can drive a lot of attention, it will be easier and more confident for me to persuade manufacturer to design/produce a QWERTY device.
