On this note, I don't understand the colored pledges on Kickstarter.
Does everyone who pledges over 120e get to customize their colors?
Why are some of these limited, while others are not?
Good news anyway, but please do put some sense into the pledges
Thanks!

Yes, blank keypad will be an option. Very cool if you make your own layout!
Like the one on the teaser/photo of the design.

By april 2015 Jolla has propably released a new phone. A bit risky if that one does not support old model TOHs.
Jolla should get into this thing. How hard can it be to realise that everybody wants a HW keyboard on their phone?

1.) being able to type properly, on real keys. You know.
2.) being able to see the whole screen while typing.
On the N900, I would routinely use the arrow keys for moving the cursor by just a few characters, or rows. For moving it a longer distance (or to a different text field... ), I would just tap that area on the display - like clicking on a desktop. You know. Arrow keys again if I missed it by a char or two. Perfect.
All that while with no vkb blocking the view ever, you could keep the text of a whole e-mail visible. Perfect.

Really!?
Development can go a lot faster if I have the funds, hence the campaign.

I can't believe people talk about what the back looks like, but don't care, that there's going to be virtual keyboard always visible, covering 1/3 of the screen in landscape... When you close the keyboard, the full virtual keyboard is not going to pop up, but you will need to hold the space key and switch the layout. And you will need to do this again when you open the keyboard, to switch to the stripped down keyboard version. Unless I'm mistaken...?
PS: Not that I'm not buying - I look forward to the keyboard very much - but I think that this should be thought through as it makes half the experience.
What toggles the vkb (while cursor is in a text field) should be the hw action of opening/closing TOHKBD.
Dirk, can you confirm:
1.) in current OS version (Uitukka), the vkb can never be completely hidden? Otherwise, why don't you do that?
2.) 3rd party/community can't make the vkb go away completely, only Jolla can? Just saw that that known issue is in Tahkalampi!
May already gone in Uitukka? Anyone using it already? Haven't seen it in the changelog...

and it can definitely be done without jolla, see patches/hacks, still willing to bet 100€ jolla will help when time comes
plus tohkbd is open source, even my nonprogrammer self helpedbwith pageup/down and few remappings, 500 guys will have a few decent coders for sure
