Re: New mobile phone: Oppo Mobile - Find 5 (with hw keyb and 1080p 441ppi screen!)

No keyboard == no fun, drop it away.

Re: FOSS Maemo for high security

Why we do have openssl and gnupg everywhere and our email cleints don't do gnupg, IM does not do OTR and SIP does not do zRTP always made me wonder.

Re: My letter to Jolla and what was wrong with Harmattan

And yet another crazy thing with harmattan -- state handling:

How is address book sync done in MfE? Once a while, DROP all synced contact and fetch them from a server.

Yes, most likely. The first goal is to get running as much as possible from Meego without being sued by Nokia. I expect the pilot model to have many imperfections but we can live with it.

"Credentials"? Who cares? What "credentials" do you expect?
Elop has "credentials", go ask his "valuable and well-baked" advice instead.
