I don't know if that has been mentioned yet or even if it has occurred to anyone but that may be a blessing in disguise. "Look, potential partnets, our OS does not need to run on the most modern octacore with gazillions of GB RAM, any old cr@p will do!"

+1 for this.

In fact, I'd love to see Jolla running on all sorts of devices, particularly non-phone portable hardware. I've come to the opinion that cell-hardware is poison -- it ties you to the cell manufacturer, to the phone service provider, and potentially to all sorts of governmental or non-governmental bodies who want to tap in to and follow your device.

So far as I can tell, the only reason why there is such a dearth of homebuilt portable devices these days is that you just can't create your own cell phone and get away with it. I would love to see a world where the phone and the PDA become split apart again, where computing devices can advance again without being beholden to the phone companies, and phones can go back to not containing all your personal information...

I can say it a million times if needed, it's a small size phone for me, or nothing. 4' - 4,2' at most, or nothing. And studied ergonomics, slip-free form and materials (my number 1 issue with the phone). I already own laptops, and tablets and a bunch of stuff, i want a phone i can handle with easy in my everyday, like i used to.
It's Jolla, unlike the others... or Jolla, like all the others.

This is where 3rd party manufacturing announcement really gives hope, jolla themselves couldn't release 3 different size phones (with and without HWKB to go with it), if a serious manufacturer comes up, no reason for them to not realease bigger and smaller sizes

Get a Jolla Phone One then! It's a nice device with SOFS 2 looking around the corner.

Nothing surprising though. It has been known from the day 1 that Jolla needs partners who license the Sailfish OS and idea of spearhead devices is not that new either. For now important thing is that investors seem to trust them (as they are willing to pour in money to finance the company) and that there are partners coming who have bigger resources to compete in HW.

If you want a less slippery back, get something like TOHLED from Funky Other Half. For me that upped the 'wow' factor *and* added a non-slippery back

Or get a back that is not only non-slippery but functional, like TOH-OLED, or TOH-IR, or TOH-arduino, fixing slipperiness is just a bonus

Did you mean "at most"? In that case, +1!

Hope the specs will be at least as of Nexus 5 2013 w 2GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, no need for SDXC, but definitely a full HD 5' display& LTE. A bit more rounded "edges" and non slippery oleophobic coating. The lesser quality of the J1 had me buy the Nexus 5 32GB. I can live w/o the Dalvik if it is not open source. No need for kb, with the Waytools Textblade around.
