Anyone know how to access SD content from the phone?

    There's no inbuilt file explorer/file manager

    Settings are terrible (lacking a huge number of basic functions)

    I'm wishing I'd saved my money

    Have you got the latest software update ? /2013/12/09/sailfish-first-software-update-091213/

    Also, Jolla have confirmed a further update coming in December and another in early 2014 which should hopefully fix some of the early teething issues.

    How about making a review of what is missing. Every point should be documented well enough. Than submit it here and to them.

    I think that they are trying to develop the phone with us. That was the whole point of having pre-orders: to get it in the hands of early eager adopters. By the time it will be available for others the OS will have a lot of fixes and updates.

    For the slightly more technical people, there is a way to access the SD card files thru PC when handset is plugged via USB. It involves some lines in terminal and done at your own risk.

    I personally would remove the sd card and connect sd card directly to a PC using an sd card reader, copy files (eg. music/documents etc) you need on it. Not ideal, but better than risking bricking your phone and the best solution until we have a further update.

    @Cosmic_Kakapo

    @andreibechet is right - this is one very small company trying to make a difference in the mobile landscape, and yes they need community support/input to do it.

    If you want to be proactive, you could always start listing your software requests here: /forums/discussion/84/latest-sailfish-update-1-0-1-10-your-thoughts#Item_7

    From what I have read there is a native file manager hidden within Sailfish....

    "To get it: "pkcon install jolla-fileman". Discovered by @bundyo !"

    They said that they released whatever was running properly, although they have more features on the phone itself but not activated. Anyways it is good news that such a thing exists, and it only means that it will come with a future update :)

    my jolla arrived yesterday!
    i have copy some files from N9 to Jolla...
    hideous... jolla have only 16Gb and of these are free only 13,5Gb....
    very hideous...
    copy of 5Gb on the jolla spent more 10minutes...
    in N9 this operation spent only 5minutes...
    all this are very far to what N9 is!!! there is a two different system....
    i hoped Sailfish was a new clone of Meego with big and original improvement, but i'm wrong

    You are right, Meego and Sailfish are 2 different systems. They have stuff in common but the later is not is not an update to the Meego OS. Meego OS belonged to Nokia and Intel partnership. Jolla is a totally different company. The OS is still in BETA, because they, as a company have less than 100 employees and want to develop the phone with the community (hence the preorders - they wanted to get the phone in the hands of those interested in this development process). I am sorry you do not have the desired experience which you wanted to. Maybe you can "forget" about the phone for some months because I am sure the experience will be improved a lot, or you can also help by writing down which features you think are missing / bugs as well.

    With respect to the 13gb free ... well, on a 16GB Iphone the issue is the same. The total amount of memory which is 16GB should also contain the OS and everything else, hence the missing space. The good news is that you can extend your memory with an SD card.
