I was among the first lucky batch of Jolla users. I went for Jolla as a replacement for my N9. I will not use apple/google/windows. Unfortunately, my Jolla is mostly in the drawer of my desk but I do take it out at least once a week. I am largely satisfied and convinced it can work. What works, works well but it is not yet enough.
Without tethering (Internet access through usb or WLAN for windows (XP to Win8)/linux laptops), reliable link up to my car satnav, and organiser SW at least as good as N9 it is not ready for ‘active service’ . I am primarily a business user. The Microsoft Exchange support is great (works well with Zaraffa) Email is good too but the other parts, telephone/address book, calender are in serious need of an upgrade. e.g.
– calender view does not show month/year when you open it you have too move sideways to see where you are. Irritating
– the dialer is on a hair-trigger. I don’t know how many times I have accidently dialed when I only wanted to look at a contact (embarassing)
– Sync the address book with Zaraffa. Many many fields are missing or incorrect. It’s probably great f you want to just keep your friends in there but I need companies, departments, positions etc.
My wife wanted a smart phone recently after using an old Nokia clap-open phone(forgotten the model) for years. I was really seriously thinking of a Jolla but in the end I went for a still new N9. Luckily you can still get them as a EU import, stocks don’t seem to be completely depleted. Maybe next time.
I agree with all the point you have mentioned… am a N900 and N9 user till and waiting for Jolla to be released in Middle East.. according to N900 and N9 I can say that they should follow up N9 Dialer and how it is confirming the number to dialer like a second page appearing so that no mistakes happen and no wrong dialed number..
In my opinion ,, they should learn more from N9 if they abandoned N900 cause still N9 is the best thing money can buy except the battery consumption draining fast….
Jolla still on first stages.. needs more improvement and more support from us to help it improve also adding other languages like Arabic or Urdu or that ever
still using my N900 as primary, too many features (beside hw keyboard) that are missing.
looking into getting a Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE (best Android QWERTY device available) as an alternative (need a couple droid apps & Jolla device is just too frustrating for too many things (lack of clipboard throughout the device, inaccessibility of Android data and of Jolla data for Android… a MESS).
Sailfish OS is simply completely immature, beta stage at best.
from the N900 to the N9 to finally the Jolla, the Maemo project has been going downhill.
& sales are going down too, thus company is probably going to fold sooner or later…

Thanks to all for noting, does it show now after I made the form long enough?
Worked fine for me maybe since your fix – nice little questionnaire Simo. :)
Thanks, I just didn’t remember the form lenght requirement for your site ;) Too long time away maybe. Nice to see this much activity really!
I see only 7 question without confirm button… -_-
Added yet some more height, are the buttons visible now? I suppose the screen width might have something to do with this. If it still doesnt work, the tool is available also here
yea thanks
