I know you guys don't alter case.

I am aware that T1000 metal doesn't exist (unfortunately ), but I always thought that on mobile devices the keyboard was integrated in such a way that you can not just change keyboard and plugin a different one like on pc without writing drivers for it.
Guess I was wrong?

Of course you're free to casemod your Neo900 all the way you like, and connecting whatever kbd you like is no problem, neither hw side nor sw.
And I assume there is some kind of connector for it?
Yes, I am not very technical in these kind of things. Should have chosen Electrical Engineering instead of Aerospace I geuss

maemo is a standard linux in that (as pretty much all) regard. You can smply plug in any standard PC USB keyboard.
Without thorough EE knowledge connecting a kbd the same way the internal hw kbd is connected - via I2C - is probably going to get tough. You need to design such thing on your own. An option to hook up I2C hw extensions will be available anyway, unclear yet if it will be a plug or just solderpads.

Forgive me, but am I the first to mention Google/ Motorola Mobility "Project Ara"?

Don't worry, I'm still getting my Neo900, I don't like Android.

sorry, this is not related or relevant for Neo900. And you won't see anything hitting reality from it either. Please don't continue on this, it's really OT in this thread. Google for phonebloks

A question on shipping options:
You said customers can either buy the board alone or a complete device.
Will something in between be possible if you know it in advance?

The reason is that my backup N900s both have German keyboards which I find unbearable. I plan to use one of the cases for the Neo900 board, so if I want to keep my primary N900 the way it is I'll have to find a backlit English keyboard somewhere (preferably two, just in case).
Since you'll have to source all the parts for the complete devices anyway that someone I'm looking for could be you if it doesn't cause you too much logistic overhead.

We'll see what can get done regarding that locale specific part. Please mention it again when we ask our customers to specify what exactly they want to order.

Thanks for bringing it up
cheers

Oh btw make play live board has 1GB RAM but I'm not sure of other specs (pins, required voltage, etc). Maybe you could ask them about it?

hardly since what we need costs 50% of what they *sell*, and also we don't even have the same ARM core.
Thanks anyway

by the way ,will the boards be available(without case) ? how much will it costs ? i want to get in this boat (saving money) but i don"t want to trash my n900 , and 700 euro represents a big amount of money.
I don"t think that i"m the only one thinking like that.

You can choose between board and complete device.
