Please report any hardware features that you feel are missing and cannot live without here.

These hardware requests could potentially be infused into another half or even just maybe something that requires activating by Jolla (eg. 4G).

Let's keep the requests simple, concise and to the point for the benefit of providing a reference to Jolla.

Rather than double posting someone else's suggestion, please hit the 'like' button to show an extra vote for any stated feature.

Faz

QWERTY keyboard.

rgsidler

Localized hardware keyboards, not only 'qwerty', but also 'йцукен', 'qwertz', 'уеишщк' a.o.m...

andreibechet

Extended battery OTH

BaffTech

QI charging cover (seems already done by some guys so technically feasible).

KnuX

One simple thing I still miss from the N900 is the little flap that allowed the device to sit at 45º.
It should be pretty easy to do a OH with the same feature, and it was very cool.

tvppes

It seems to me that NFC could drain your batteries? Perhaps there should be way to turn it off. What you think?

I would like to have the option of enabling encrypted tunnels and connections. Now it is seriously difficult to connect to my secure e-mail. I would need to have the STARTTLS capability. Furthermore, I would like to have a feature in the browser, that would allow me to use secure proxies (equivalent of FoxyProxy in Firefox) for web surfing. Furthermore, certificate based connections to WLAN -stations should be implemented. It kind of defeats the purpose to have a phone without NSA if there are several other cyber-security holes.

I love the phone otherwise.

Peace

Email client have SSL and TLS in POP3/IMAP/SMTP settings. What you mean ?
And please, this is SW not HW related, write this to right section.

Maybe a modular phone design like this:

Phonebloks is one of those ideas which is genius on paper, but will fall flat in practice.

You are right. I also do not believe that this will work because of the simple fact that this will be way too expensive and cheap phones still sell best.

Other Half like Seabird

Howdy, Stranger!
