My biggest problem remains connecting to WPA2-protected 802.11g WLAN networks. Hidden networks are not found or the connection fails and it is a serious limitation.
I haven’t tried yet with the latest software update, though. Maybe they fixed it.

29€ for some plastic cover and that doesn’t even include shipping…

I was planning on getting a black cover, but at this price? As if the jolla itself wasn’t pricey enough for it’s specs, this takes the cake.

The battery life is more than adequate for a smartphone and another thing that ought to be shouted about – this is the longest lasting smartphone in terms of battery life I have owned (with either latest software update or masking tohd service).

The alarm clock activating when the handset is turned off is a sweet touch harking back to Nokia’s of old – no modern smartphone I own has been able to do that (with the exception of my N900;N8;N9 but they can’t be considered recent).

Jolla nailed most of the basic important functions of a phone and with a combination of native/android apps, most apps are easily available on tap.

I agree, bluetooth support could be better although I have been able to connect with most devices seemlessly. The one I couldn’t connect with was a small bluetooth keyboard but I haven’t been able to test this since the latest update (maybe that brought a fix).

Yes there are software related bugs here and there, but having the wonderful extended community providing solutions and of course Jolla’s current commitment to monthly software updates, there is a glowing feeling of utmost confidence and pride to being part of a growing movement.

The other half future capabilities only lends a further excitement and dimension to what could be achieved with the backing of Jolla and this great community.

I remember seeing a box on release / big announcement day showing around 15 different coloured other halves, I wonder if there will there be a release of new other halves every month or so to complete the collection :-)

For what it is, the Jolla that is (a development prototype or proof of concept), I am exceptionally happy with it. Love the UI, formfactor, ease of use and overall performance. Details that have been given less prominence with other smartphones have been carefully looked at. Good examples would be its signal handling for voice comms (it holds onto calls very well, there is a location near me where a Samsung Note 2 or Galaxy 4 will always drop a call if driving through but the Jolla remains completely unaffected) and the speakerphone mode is just brilliant. I was making dinner for myself when a friend called and was able to hold a conversation without issue from about 3 meters away without raising my voice. Battery life seems good but it is dependent on how hard you are hitting the android emulator. It would be handy to be able to purchase a backup battery though.
Bluetooth support stack needs strengthening, i.e keyboard support
App wise? all these silo’d platforms are beginning to become a PITA, MS has Skype / Outlook, Google has Hangouts / Gmail, Apple probably has something similar, all I want to do is communicate via IM or Voice or Video and not need a different platform depending on the contact. A layer over these disparate API’s and combine into a uber comms app and deep integration with events and contacts would potentially give Jolla the killer app for their platform.

The other halves that I personally would like to see:

TOH with inputs for usb keyboard and mouse
TOH with embedded encryption for secure NFC payments, i.e. Visa or Paypal
TOH with offline hardware wallet for alternative currencies :-)

Happy with your Jolla? I am waiting for other colors and other halves. It would be nice to have something more than an ambience.
