How amazing would it be if the Other Half was a HWKB?

Jolla themselves certainly seem to be indicating that a HWKB is a possibility.
don't think so
for €40,- you get a t-shirt
for €100.- you get... a t-shirt and at release time the device for €299 instead of €399, probably with a special back cover, like your personalized Credit Card sort of thing....

Uhm, you pay 100€ for the 100€ voucher. So why do you get the device for 299€?

you lucky living in country where "pre-order" is possible
you "pre-ordering"
you getting t-shirt (€40,-) + voucher (€100.-)
you ordering Jolla device
you using voucher (€100.-) + CC or whatever (€299.-) to pay for Jolla device

any question?

of course, it could also be that at release time, there will be a connectable hw kbd worth €100.- and you can order that "for free"

I'm hoping it's an inductive charging thingy, which would hint at back covers having more intelligence and the potential of a HWKB "other half" for those that want it, but I can't see any metal contacts on either half. How would that work? Am I missing something? Is it just an NFC tag to say what colour the plastic is? Let's hope all is revealed at the event later.
It is a render, so connector may not be shown. But that hole in the cover is a possible connector for a keyboard half.

I just wanted to point out that you basically get the t-shirt for free (along with the device and exclusive other half etc).

if "the other half" happens to include an optional hw kbd (battery?) or whatever, you'll get that against your voucher.
or you could use the voucher simply to pay for the device itself.
and you'll get a special feature (more likely thematic then functional) for your device.
like a back cover with a nice picture or something & a matching theme.

but yes, apologises, my post was unclear about that. thanks for the clarification

aren't the holes (top left in the picture) for the camera & flash?

I don't actually think we'll get a free HW keyboard, it's a pipe dream of course.

But the noises coming out from Jolla seem to suggest that HW keyboard is coming. If it comes, I assume we pay extra for it.
