I just got in and I can see a clear reference to .... HERE!!!

if you look at terms and conditions of the jolla harbour, then you can see for instance at the end (in the restriction part) a lot of mentions to HERE services, HERE Positioning services...

that is good news for me

You were just a minute faster to mention it. I thought I was the only one reading the terms before clicking 'Accept'

Yes, now it is quite clear Jolla will use HERE as their location service. I don't care that much since I find OSM better, but it is a good news nevertheless!

meh...... I was really hoping that android apps won't be in the same store with sailfish apps. Now I'm really hoping for a working filter.

•Nokia will retain its patent portfolio and will grant Microsoft a 10-year license to its patents at the time of the closing. Microsoft will grant Nokia reciprocal rights to use Microsoft patents in its HERE services.*In addition, Nokia will grant Microsoft an option to extend this mutual patent agreement in perpetuity.

In addition, Microsoft will become a strategic licensee of the HERE platform, and will separately pay Nokia for a four-year license.•

I wonder if these affect Jolla. Or microsoft get updates or exclusive features

Look HERE. Look there. Think back. Turn around.
Your phone could look like our phone. Sadly it doesn't.

What's this? Who's that? Look right. Face me.
The phone has guessed your name and favorite song.

Check there. Go back. Click this. Look up.
The phone has apologized to your wife for you and she is happy again.

I read this in Old Spice voice before ever clicking the link and am pleased to have been correct. lol

OT: I wonder what the ramifications are for dropping the phone. I hope the tabs holding the other half together are solid.

I also think one of the slickest design choices of the N9 is how they designed the silicone case to compliment the phone's curves. It didn't seem like the phone was in a case. Maybe an other half could have a similar "case" built in to itself.

I don't think that would affect Jolla - if anything, Nokia is able to use certain things of Microsoft for free and they would get automatically licensed to Jolla.

All this is cool, I like Nokia Maps/Here/however you want to call it these days. In the meantime OSM gets better and better and we'll get a nice replacement over time.
