This announcement is music o me! Since half a year I had my sim in a Volla 22. I have Threema Libre on it. At the moment I have no Sailfish device with which I can make video calls via Threema.However the phone function of the Volla doesn’t work properly anymore. So I have put my sim in the Xperia XA2 plus again. With patience I am looking forward to a Jolla 2. No hurry!
As you suggested we do now more on our devices than a decade ago. My first smartphone, an iphone 3Gs, fitted in the palm of my hand, but I use my phone now differently (reading e.g.). A Jolla 2 can give a boost to creativity in game making etc.
To my opinion a medium size with a ‘normal’ aspect ratio will be best.
The announcement suggests that you already have contact with a manufacturer. Whoever it is, compliance to EU rules makes the new phone more future proof.
If Jolla wants crowdfunding, I am in.
Good luck!
