Keep your words for yourself. Some Sailfish users have bought recently 2, even 4 Jollas, for the whole family.
I bought a second one, because there's no UK service centre .. if I had to wait a couple of weeks for a new device / repairs, I'd likely never use it again. I intend to send the first one for warranty repairs and then either sell one or both, or donate them to developers if a new device is announced.
If you like to think of yourself as a supporter of Jolla (as surely someone who would buy multiple *significantly imperfect* devices from a fledgling company would), why would you begrudge them launching a newer, better phone that could increase sales?
I'd be thrilled if it's a newer, better phone ... even if it is in the 5.5" phablet category (which I'm not a huge fan of). I'd happily get rid of both existing Jollas if it means I don't suffer the poor performance, screen and camera of the current device, or am not forced to abandon Sailfish entirely for Cyanogenmod.

I guess it will be a tablet. Jaakko Roppola, Jollas chief UI designer, had a blog post about Sailfish UI on a tablet a while ago. http://jaakkoroppola.blogspot.fi/201...r-screens.html

He explicitly states it has nothing to do with Jolla .. and if he'd been working on the UI / UX for tablets, it would have had everything to do with Jolla.

Different size phone => not compatible TOHs(official ones cost not cheap). That would be rude. I asked Jolla about TOH compatibility on twitter several times and on one of the first IRC meeting, and though other people were interested to know to, no one answered.
But I think if you have TOHs you need to keep up compatibility, at least for phones.

If the design of a future model is not yet complete or certain aspects are not yet determined, they will never state anything about this. I wouldn't also.

We'll see what they come up with at Slush! Looking forward to it!
