I wish there was better documentation of the various phone stacks, what the various pieces are, etc. Maybe I'm just unable to find the obvious. On that note, I will continue to "milk" my iPhone running iOS until there are some really compelling free options. I will never run Android. Whatever you think of Apple, I at least trust them more in regards to privacy.

Any way, the update went smooth and today I discovered that I can user the flashlight without unlocking the phone - which is nice. If only there was a reboot of the Nokia n900 to go with this OS

Just my 2 cents on the Jolla UI:
I was forced to use Android between the death of my Jolla Phone and the release of Sailfish X for the Xperia XA2, and god, Android is unusable compared to Sailfish OS.
Where you need a single swipe on Sailfish, you need to open 5 sub-menus, press 10 buttons, and type a whole essay in Aramaic on Android. I'm really glad that suffering lasted only 2 months...
(the previous paragraph might be slightly exaggerated)
Sorry, but judging a whole UI/UX from a single screenshot can never do it justice. However, for testing the UI, you can just grab the free version (meaning: no Microsoft Exchange, and no Android Runtime) of Sailfish X and run it on any compatible device. It takes a couple of hours to get used to, but once one knows which swipe does what, Sailfish is really convenient.

If you look at my past posts you can confirm that I'm no Jolla fan. But one thing that bothers me on this thread is the "UI is terrible" thing. While in some cases the readability really is bad due to the "show the theme background" paradigm, the Sailfish OS UI is the best I've ever worked with.
Android is and always was absolutely terribad. Apple is even worse with their individual back buttons and other shait. Sailfish UI is simply "fluid", and once you get used to it a bit going back feels like wiping your ass with sandpaper.
That said, their continuous lies and selling out to Russia and other "eastern" powers makes me wish there was a better "daily driver" alternative. There's also the whole "still an android underneath" problem with binary blobs and the possibility of google still knowing it all even if you don't install their google services.

Who has old Galaxy S7, there's way to install Sailfish on it, bit older version tho but usable. XDA has relevant data in it's custom ROM forum section.
Names tho, why'd they keep using names only Finns themselves, Estonians or maybe Hungarians would find comfortable to spell/pronounce..?
Nuuksio..? What's next, Õueaiaäär? Jääkarukäpaküüs?

I personally find it very clean and simple design-wise, which means elegant and sober. Especially since I guess that background can easily be changed for something that would meet your eyes.Last edited by Mez'; 22 December 2019, 10:25 AM.

That's just your simple opinion, whatever magical power you're trying to give it.
