What I think the complaint about "bugs" is, is the feature that the reply-editor is about worst I have ever used, you cannot edit the mail you are replying to, only add your reply in the top of it.
Otherwice it works OK for me.

I assume Firefox isn't updated for Harmatten any more either.

it's a shame that Nokia didn't release the sources once they decided to abandon the OS. It would have been a great gesture.

The Jolla should work on tmobile. Not sure about 4G though.
tmobile frequency bands:

Jolla supported bands:
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz
4G LTE** (Works on 6 continents)
1700 AND 2100 are required together, or 850 or 1900mhz to be able to access their HSPDA network.
G66J, I'm unsure if this affects you but since you use multiple email accounts, I should mention that (to the best of my knowledge) it's not possible to copy or paste text with the stock email client.

you can't select text, click links,... in some situations. There are work-arounds but it is not what I expect from a perfect mail client..... But it works just fine for me in daily life....
There is/was a promising looking replacement once called trojita but afaik it's not under active development any more.
As far as the browser goes - let's just say, it's old.... and you really notice that some times (flash plugin is pretty outdated....)
Firefox for the N9 is kind of a joke and Meefox is kinda nice but hasn't been updated for some time now...
However UI design and handling are amazing and the Community is just the best, even if the number of active members is going down

Thanks for all the info guys.
I'm really torn about getting the N9. Some of the issues or short comings with the email client may just become too frustrating for me in daily use. I use email a lot for business and the lack of cut & paste or the ability to edit replied to or forwarded messages would become tedious I think.
A real shame, as I think I may need to pass on the N9

Z10 instead? Or perhaps a Q10 if you want a hardware keyboard

Go for sailfish then!
It's a new company and they can't afford to neglect such issues because their sales very much depend on their good image
I wouldn't go for a BB though! Next to no support there and imho they are circling the drain....
