What does JOLLA need in the future, whether in the Other Half or in "the Half"?

In my opinion, the Dual SIM option would be really useful in order to make the phone attractive. I know this is not so important for you all in Finland but anybody "changing countries" frequently it would make life much easier.
The perfect solution would be to have it in another "Other Half"!

There have been a few things mentioned already that aren't functioning yet:

FM radio (no hardware it think but could be added via OH if there was demand?)
MMS
64GB Micro SD card support

That is one of the obvious things (even though I would not need it really) :)

Thanks for the tip i think i will try that, it is abit out of proportion with the other posts if you click enlarge but perfectly ledgible lol

Like to hear the views of the community on the idea

Hmm... while I think the feature is interesting, the swipe-on-a-card gesture is already taken by the card actions, so it would need a different activation mechanism...
Maybe Sailfish could be expanded so that the activation mechanism could be on the app itself, rather than on the home screen, and that way the activation issue would solve itself.

Rather than that, I don't think I'd ever use it, but I don't mind it being there :)

Thanks for the comments, As far as im aware the card actions allow up to two action to be placed in a card, and from the demos apps like the media player have only one taken up by a pause/play function so there is room there, but i take your point that other apps playing media may not have the room for this functions, its all a matter of what you prioritise for the card actions. As for the implementation i think this would be a far sleeker implementation of multitasking with media that already exist on say touchwiz android which is pretty useless, making it a novelty, but with the direct nature of sailfish OS' multitasking i think it really would have use cases. The uses cases i mention also are well grounded as this is something i would often do with my N900 but even there you limited to having the at best 1 of 4 windows big and also the moment between apps and the homescreen was not as seamless as it is on sailfish. As for whether the can be implemented for just with apps its hard to tell as we dont know much enough about the OS yet and im not an app developer, perhaps someone using the SDK would be wiser on this.

I would like to see TOH's which bring more hardware to market: One time wonder defibrillator, brain wave analyzer, kit to connect to car's computers. I also would like to see hardware developer TOH's which would bring signals out from the phone so that they would be easy to connect to your own devices, e.g. raspberry pi etc.

There have been phones with solar panels here and there, even Nokia made some.

But do you really want to leave your shiny phone in the sun for hours just to get a few % charge? With an LCD screen, and lots of plastic and heat-sensitive equipment inside? I always think about this whenever people talk about phones with solar panels.
