- connect to another accessory using Bluetooth, WiFi/DNLA, or NFC/Bluetooth - what worked, what didn't, how long did it take you from deciding to transfer something to it being on the other device
- while on a call, quickly disconnect, then get back on the line with the person (how did the device respond to the switch in/out of the telephone app/service, how did the network seem to respond)
- how long does it take to put device into a silent state when an alarm/ringer is going off, and the device isn't in your hand - what steps did you do to quench the sounds

These are mostly normal UX questions, and things not always covered in reviews. But, in terms of evaluating the UX against and with other platforms, these are the kinds of questions which make a lot of sense to ask. Have at it.
Some answers.

You can double click numbers in email messages. You get a screen that lets you call or send sms to the number. From the top of the screen you can pull down options 'Link' and 'Save' (to contacts, which then opens up regular contact add page).

Calendar events attendees and notes are not currently supported; you can only add the name of the event, description, time, recurrence and alarm. I'd suppose they'll be there some day.

Workaround for this is that after you have created the event, you can share it from the menu as a vcs-file. Not very elegant for business people, so this is just rudimentary execution.

Silencing the phone happens fastest with a short click of the power button.

OK, since all apps (native and android) in harbour are at the same place is there any filter for that. Or maybe, If one doesn't install ACL, is there a chance that he doesn't even see android apps.

So now "turn-to-slience" option? It is nice to have, but I think it can be implemented with an application.

No, you can actually install Android apps without having Alien Dalvik installed. If you click the icon in the launcher then, the store will open with the Android Support app page for installation.

So, there's no filter? meh......... OK, after all that marketing with android I wasn't expecting much more. Even the ability to not install ACL is unexpected feature, a big + for me. The option to not even see android apps without ACL would be a cherry on top.

Oh, there would be a fine solution for this problem: submit proper Sailfish apps to Harbour, not alien Android apps.

To me it sounds like all the Android applications come from external stores (Yandex & co) and that Harbour carries only Jolla-native applications. I could be mistaken though.

Harbour accept Android apps, and the Jolla Store has two or three Android apps, e.g. Ilta-Sanomat.

Good old Mr Douglas Adams got it right, then, 35 years ago. Devices used to be operated by buttons, knobs and levers, nowadays you just vaguely wave your hand and hope. When an alarm wakes me up, eyes still stuck closed, am I expected to remember which way the phone is turned so I don't swipe down when I mean up?

Someone's also mentioned the control bar in the default browser. It opens by scrolling up, on the assumption that you scroll up when you've finished reading the page. That wouldn't work for me on this very website. I scroll up when I've finished reading the thread and want to go back to the list on the right. And that is on an N900 in landscape mode, which Jolla apparently does not support yet.

In other words, I don't regret at all that I've missed the preorder boat

For those slow on the uptake, please follow the link first before answering.

OK then, I stand corrected.
