The main issue of this keyboard is that it masks the camera. So I can't<br>
take quickly a picture, I have to remove in first the keyboard. With this<br>
TOHKBD, we can't have an other one : it's either a keyboard or something<br>
else. So this smartphone is just like all the others with a physical<br>
keyboard, but less interesting because of the camera issue. And finally,<br>
I'm not convinced by the magnets. I rather prefer a true slider keyboard.<br>
<br>
The main interest of this design could have been the possibility to slide<br>
out only the directional pad with the smartphone in portrait mode, for<br>
allowing users to control there smartphone with it (in case they have<br>
gloves for example).<br>
<br>
So for the moment, for me, the Jolla phone with TOHKBD is not interesting.<br>
