Andrebechet, one of our community mod’s brought this to our attention earlier on today, the news that Sailfish will get it’s first update since the launch on 27/11/13.

There are some fairly important changes/fixes in there which should help streamline the overall operability of Sailfish for current users.
It’s nice to know that by the time pre-orders start getting into peoples hands, they can already look forward to some improvements to the functionality. :-)
Thanks to andre for tipping us and Jolla for their continued hard work! :-)
Sail On!

this is going to be a real kick-ass OS very soon. they said updates will be coming in frequently, and they’ve been right on track with all their schedules. I really admire that about Jolla, they never keep us waiting longer than they said. Making realistic time tables and getting things done on time is a work of great art
They are working very hard to the feedbacks from enduser. They are the company who listen to customer, they are gonna rock the mobile OS world.
Well, if that much gets done every week, next year it’s going to control a rocket to the moon :)
It’s such great news – just to think by the time people get the pre-order deliveries, some more of the hard work to the OS will be finished. :-)
Please remove Yandex! Leave only the Dalvik thing on place and give us the option which market we wanna chose (it’s not a big deal to install it ourselves). Or maybe we don’t want android markets at all, just to be able to sideload an apk from time to time.
Humm… Never keep us waiting longer than they said.. You don’t think about shipping orders when you say that :/
Well, I was hoping the “landscape” mode in the web browser would be enabled as a first update and maybe the wifi tethering as well… Let’s see what’s coming next.
Till now, I’m not sure it will convnce me better than BB10 but I definitvely want to give it a try (well… I f I receive mine one day I eman).
Great news! But what’s missing now is the phone itself! Ordered in June, paid in November and still no show!
How to install the software update?
Nice to know that at least the tech team is working.
People are starting to get angry at the unreasonable delays concerning EU deliveries.
I do not understand the decision of serving Finnish customer first, it should depend exclusively on the order number.
I am not the first one compared to Finnish people who pre-ordered during the second wave, because those who live in Helsinki can simply go to the shop and pick up their device this week.
Yep! Fully agree with simon! Strange attitude to let customers fall into categories…
UPDATE: “in picking” for user xgoan in Spain (Order #200000383)

1350 devices to go before mine :-)
Don’t want to be nit-picking but, alas, mine is ‘in picking’ since november 25 (Order #200000230).
Was someone in a DNA shop today… Any Jolla phones available!?
wonderful job jolla!!!!!!!
i love you!!!!!!!!!!!
For those of you who wonders where their phone is, you can try to search for the shipping status by using the Jolla order number (2xxxxxxxx) on the fedex site
Search by reference and if it has been shipped you can see the estimated delivery date and subscribe to e-mail status updates.

Mine should arrive tomorrow :D
where i can write some wake point of sailfish????
Got my phone yesterday and updated the firmware
No built in file manage
you can’t assign a ringtone to a contact. Your own ringtones only work if they’re in the music folder on the built in memory.
The gallery crashes repeatedly,
Yandex store is very poor (and only seems to work on a wi-fi connection)
Location is very buggy – only picking up on wifi
The media player allows you to play in order or shuffle – this is a pretty poor app, but there’s nothing in Yandex that you’d want to use (no Poweramp or similar)
All in all, I’m not impressed
Try using aptoide – from my experience seems to work really nice and you could also try downloading the 1mobile app store.
I’ll give it a go.
