Would it be possible to use a N900 device as a remote control for a Jolla, gaining for example these benefits:

HW keyboar for Jolla to enter all text
more ways to control the device
dual screen arrangement - control centre (N900) and screen (Jolla)
more ?

Just tried bluemaemo on N900 (from extras-devel) and it works relatively well as a HWKB for Jolla. Some of the symbols are mismatched on my UK devices (not sure whether this would also be the case for a US setup). Mouse does nothing. Dual screen is outside the remit of standard bluetooth antics.

As far as I know Sailfish currently only supports US keyboard layout via bluetooth. That might explain your problem with the layout.
