Hi,

Please make smaller and lighter phones, sized like:

http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_sx_so_05d-4775.php

Smaller phones don't necessarily need to be ultra slim (although the SX is less than 10mm and less than 100g), so it may be easier to put a better camera (like a similar camera like the Nokia 808/1020, also the slimmest compact cameras with zoom are about 15mm thick -cybershot tx55 or similar- by the way). Actually the Xperia Z1 Compact comes pretty close to what is really good regarding camera, size and specs (bluetooth 4, usb host, video out, card reader), but it's not Jolla!!

Also, you need to move the camera in case you want somebody to be able to make an "other half" that is a keyboard. Regarding to the "other half", I think you probably need to add USB (host/client) and Power (source/drain) in addition of SPI for connectivity between the two halves.

Please try to account for that in the next Jolla so that I can buy one :) Even though girls carry a bag and could in theory carry huge phones, we don't have big hands and hate the weight, please, make normal sized phones. You are ex-Nokians, small phones with good camera and good battery life was the thing a few years ago.

Thanks!
