I don't understand what you are trying to say. Please elaborate!
basically, the concept of the Jolla: no buttons but power & volume rocker. - just my 2 cts.

ok, general design looks good.
  • like that the function / numbers keys are separated
  • would it be possible to drop the "joy pad" whatever & use 4 arrows & one or two "mouse" button(s) (if the function is available and that's what the central buton of the pad is
    you could also save the pad for the "game pad" you mentioned at the end of your video, maybe?
  • this also saves 3 keys space => 3 more free keys
  • why are there 3 Ctrl keys?!?
  • Esc, anyone? that "windooooz" like looking key top left?!? or is that a programmable key?
  • any chance to use Shift+Backspace as DEL, as on the N900?
  • Ctrl+C,Ctrl+X and Ctrl+V as copy cut and paste?

the last two are mostly up to the software implementation i guess...

is the layout of the keyboard discussed somewhere specifically?
