Same TOH, bigger Jolla.

I don't see any conflict between the (current) TOH and the possibility of having a bigger Jolla - or even different sized Jolla's, all using the same TOH. Couldn't we have a bigger Jolla, (with a bigger "first half"), and the current TOH attached to it? All the (potential) functions of the TOH would be preserved, and I would add that in that case the TOH would also gain a clever ergonomic function, giving a better hold of the device (the other half would be like a "bump" over the first half).

I don't see any aesthetic problem neither; it would actually make Jolla even more interesting, eyecatching, and, yes, unlike. In fact, the TOH, especially if in some funky color, would be even more accentuated.

But, most importantly, this concept would allow to have different sized Jolla's, fitting the needs of different users. A "power user" could have his BIG screen Jolla. Me, for example, I would like to have a more squarish screen, something like the BlackBerry Passport (but without the physical keyboard). Because it's true, as their new headline properly says; you can't "work wide" on a narrow screen. For sending simple emails, I use the Jolla email app, but when I have to (especially for business) compose a more elaborate one, I use the AquaMail android app, which have very good rich text options and I can also insert images inline. But, even in landscape, the process becomes a little bit of a parody of what real productivity should be (... with the keyboard covering more than half of the screen:). I'm running Linux on my pc, and of course I can do all my business related stuff on it. I'm sure I'm not the only one who would like to be able to use Jolla as a serious productivity tool. Sailfish is lightweight, fast and reliable - it's perfect for that. It would also be perfect to see more and have better control over contents.
