Just getting them to manufacture a durable back cover with whatever sensor they are using is probably going to be enough of a hassle...
Potential new (cringe-worthy?) slogan: "There's a "half" for that.".

This is how big Jolla is compared to N9 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...0Ey-xnkY#t=12s

So i was told to chill out and wait.
Now i know it has two parts and some features of second part.
But real specs, no info on plans of support/updates ( maybe it's only beta device and in 3 months they would release new one and stop support of that one, or would they update all the lines as long as it's possible)
What countries will get at all? (if shipping will be available at all and if yes in what time(not exact but at least QX of 201X)

What I see in Jolla smartphone and Sailfish OS is a smartphone & mobile OS with some features from desktop PC with Linux, because :
1) "The Other Half" promises some hardware (not just color) personalisation for the smartphone user, with : greater battery, hardware keyboard, different camera/flash, etc;
2) real multitasking available at the GUI, with animated miniatures of the running softwares, something seen only in Maemo, MeeGo Harmattan, BlackBerry;
3) Sailfish OS is based on Mer/Nemo which is full open source and community driven, so you can really contribute to parts of Sailfish OS, the default packages, add packages to repositories, etc. Try to do that in Android, iOS, WP, BlackBerry, etc...
4) packages with dependencies, so community developers can contribute with useful softwares which can become libraries or dependencies of many other softwares, or even the default software;
5) Sailfish OS has not only Linux kernel, but almost all parts of desktop Linux, like X11, terminal, glibc, compilers & languages (gcc, Python, etc), Qt (4.8 & 5), etc.
I see Jolla smartphone & Sailfish OS as a true successor of Nokia N9 & MeeGo Harmattan, with some innovations like hardware personalisation, more swipe gestures and richer GUI, Android compatibility and being more community driven.
Anyway, I think Jolla deserves the support of the Maemo/MeeGo community, by pre-ordering the smartphone, developing softwares, promoting it in blogs, etc.

Well, I'm impressed with the device. I've gotta hand it to the folks at Jolla; they've taken the limited hardware that was available to them, and created something rather fresh out of it.
For myself, this is really the device I would have wished the N9 had been. The N9 looks pretty, but the Jolla phone's shape looks more comfortable to use. More importantly, it has a replaceable battery and a (micro) SD-card slot; after my experience with the iPhone, I'm not planning on ever getting another portable computing device without those two features.
I think I finally have a fairly comfortable upgrade path from my N900. (I just wish they'd been able to fit an IR port on the device!)
damm whole home is ir .

well, I'm so sad that my country isn't on the list and I can't register normally.
I'm impressed with the device specs and the other half, but it's to big compared to n9. that's my only negative criticism.

Do something for the climate today! Anything!
I don't trust poeple without a Nokia n900...I'm also supporting Apple 2016 or until Jolla fully refund or ship the jPad to all backers and supports!
"waited over a year for no tablet – and then the same again for potential refund? inspires confidence!"
