Reading the user experience thread, my confidence in Jolla starts to budge!

The launch feels so much like a dejavu - missing features abound. I cannot believe when I read 4G is not enabled in the current release. They would be sued if the phone launched in US!

I didn't expect the SW to be complete in anyway, but the status is much worse than I would ever imagine. I am not talking about features like MMS; I am talking about small things here are there that add up quickly. For example the lack of FB/Twitter/RSS feeds in notification, no share UI, no video talk for Android runtime, stability issues, etc. I also think Jolla should not launch until the browser is more mature. Browser is so important when the ecosystem is non-exist!

I know Jolla need to hit the release milestone badly to show they are real. But launching the device in such immature state only gets them bad reviews (from sites that only understand iOS/Android). That doesn't help them attract new users outside of Maemo/Meego/Qt/hard-core Nokia!

I once again wish Harmattan/Meltemi were not abandoned.....
