I do get what you're saying, and agree actually. But I've personally given up wanting to do all of that stuff on my phone. Tablets are better suited for me (full pentesting suite on my tablet helped with that decision).

Again. We're actually not in disagreement. I think we just have a different manner to accomplish the same input of coherent communication and tasks in whichever language we speak via these devices.
I cannot go into the whole lack of grammar and spelling I've seen in that Wazapp thread. Couldn't make heads or tails of some of the posts in there.

My translation from the article:
Jussi Hurmola:
"Mechanical keyboard is not dead. None has been able to make a traditional communicator in a long period. I think there is a demand for that. I sometimes use Nokia N900 myself."

Simple, a transparent keyboard with little screens below the keys, so that this will not be a problem

Wow, you got a point. A slide-out keyboard without any labels and below it a touchscreen, a resistive one would be best I think as it's much more accurate and pushing the keys would just touch the touchscreen. Add to the price another 100$ and another 50$ for a huge battery. Although battery doesn't necessarily have to be a problem because the screen can a two color one, just like in old nokias. But that won't happen, it would probably look like crap.
Edit. E-Ink would be even better!
+I wish Jolla could cooperate with Nokia in a way that Nokia let's Jolla use patents for ex. Pureview technology without the name pureview obiously, 60Hz and super sensitive screen, clearblack and all goodies that Nokia has in it's sleeves in exchange for a lot of Jollas shares. I mean around 40% would be ok I think. This way if Jolla fails Nokia losses nothing and if succeses Nokia gains a lot of money. It would make not only Jolla and Nokia happy, I bet we would all be over the moon with a Jolla phone which in fact would be a Nokia but way better with Jollas OS.

I wouldn't trust any shares to Nokia if I were them. Nokia made their choice and interests very clear.

Honestly, if I'm using commands in a terminal that require me to admin a machine, I've long shifted to an external bluetooth keyboard to expedite those type of things.

tablet, other back pocket or packed up.
logitech bluetooth keyboard, packed up and pulled out when I need it *wow! I didn't pay that much for it!
mac book pro retina display w/ win7, winxp, ubuntu, haiku & fedora virtual machines, packed up.
my bag? adobe medium bag while traveling...
when not traveling... phone in back pocket. tablet, other back pocket. both hands free, can carry keyboard if I so choose.
And I hate netbooks. No power for what I need. And when I'm on-site, a tablet in my back pocket or blazer inner-pocket is just what I need. And no... the N900 didn't offer me what I needed. Soon I'm going in the other direction... a tablet, a dumb phone, and a laptop nearby for mo' power.
That's my workflow. Yours is different.
At home... none of that. Phone is somewhere. Tablet is in hand. I'm texting via Google Voice - even when in Jamaica or Germany.
