N810 VS FP2 VS Moto Z

It's actually not that much of difference. Especially when it goes thinner.

I know 5.5 inch is big, but isn't that scarery. (And it gives a lot benefits not only a big screen but a bigger battery and we have more room to fit more components)
And loads of disadvantages:
Bigger screen = more power usage
Inconvenient for pockets, especially shirt pockets

We (I) want a phone, not a tablet. Between 3.5-4 is the sweet spot in my opinion.

that's exactly the problem. Everybody sees the sweet spot in a different way. Fore me it's between 4 - 4.5.

Anyway show me a car, wich looks nice has more than 300 PS enough space to transport a sofa and costs less than 40.000 €.

I'll take the best what I can get. And at the moment it looks like the livermorium device will be the device which fits best to my needs. So I'll take it, no matter it has a 5.5" or a 3.5" display (At least when the over all dimensions are still tolerable.

Where is the unofficial community campaign manager Mosen? Is he flying around the globe and trying to sell sushi?

Will be interesting to see what he comes up with. Currently I think we are to few to backup SailingChen.

How many is ready to put the money where the mouth is?

No need for split keyboard. I can easily reach more than half screen with thumbs on 5.5" . I have big hands so I can stretch to 2/3 but I think that I will be OK for people with smaller hands to. And it will be way more comfortable for a lot of typing than that small keyboard on N900 where my thumbs was always bent at some angle.
I think I'm ok with 5.5" (or bigger!) now. I just tried my Magic-Pro blue tooth keyboard, which is 6" long and even has a track pad. The trick for me is to rotate my wrists while holding the keyboard and I can easily reach all keys. So go for it!

Smartphones no longer have screen with 3.5 or 4 inches.

You are asking for an unicorn.

5.5 is not a tablet, it's the standard size for phone since more than two years.

Smartphones can be as big as they want to be, but everyone is leaning towards bigger=better, meaning if you want to make one smaller (like in "the good old days") it's harder, components are more difficult to find, and it's going to be more expensive and risky for you.

I hope loads of people buy Chen's first (larger) keyboard phone and that that then enables him to make a smaller one for those that prefer it!

I wonder if they can be asked to comply with GPL and release kernel source code. This would make SailfishOS port possible in case someone wanted to.

the question is, waht "that" can be used for apart from basic funcions availabale on dumbphones for less money and with way better battery life. Maybe as some cyclo/fitness/running something but with that resolution....

Here's my issue though. I'm being coerced by both sides of this debate into buying a machine that's too small or too big without being asked what size is best for me.

Either it's a not so jolly giant telling me that it's 6 inches and higher, or some often mistaken for a small troll dwarf telling me that 3.5 inches is perfect.

And for me the N900's screen is now just too small. For me the sweet spot is 5"-5.5". Bigger screen means much more comfortable web browsing.
