I guess my 65 year old father goes then "or whatever" category, since geek he is in no way, but not either open source enthuasiast. Basically he is machine oriented, but hates computers. Still, I recommended him N9, and after sorting out language problem (he don't have skills for English and for some reason the phone first started using English), and giving some usage tips, he has used the phone quite happily.

The phone notified about firmware upgrade, and he managed to do it without issues. The phone went straight from PR 1.0 to PR 1.3.

He even managed to transfer his contacts via bluetooth from his old S60 phone. Something that looked to be pain in the a** with Lumia when my co-worked told about his experiences (went from S60 to Lumia) and it wasn't possible without company's exchange server.

After couple of days, I texted and asked if dad had any issues with the phone or other things that needs to be solved. He answered: "Hi! No issues, but something to wonder yes... how could Nokia abandon as great phone as this? I have been downloading software from Ovi store, arranged the menus etc. Yesterday I tested the navigation. - - ".

He even replaced the Accuweather applet with Meecast to get weather data in Finnish (I have no clue where he got the idea to do that), and configured it to be visible stand by screen.

So sorry, I have pretty hard time to believe N9 wasn't ready for masses.

Microsoft has had a mobile OS for 10 years now, and how much market share do they have?

Compare Nokia's market share in the last 10 years. Clearly Nokia can create far better things than Microsoft

Enough said

yes.

afaik there's not prebuild images for it so you'll either have to make your own custom .ks and build an image from it (I'd suggest basing it on nemo's .ks files) or install nemo and add needed repos and make the changes on the device. this is what I did with meego ce/plasma on n900 when doing it for the first time.

Unfortunately I don't have any step by step instructions to offer. Happy hacking.

ps. the video on the blog post is about year old so things have changed..

I'm sure it isn't the right jolla. The parked page is the Spanish Jolla


Edit: I'm corrected by the post below...

The way things look, the ex-Nokia team is probably going to keep using TI OMAPs in their devices. Let's just hope they don't include stupid amounts of closed core components such as DSME, BME, libcal and the like.
I am sure alot will continue be closed. And about OMAP I doubt... I dont like Intels x86 arch but I think that is the way they will o. I said before that is risky for such small company but in same time:

1. Intel may have big intrest to "sponsor them
2. Jolla small player lower volumes means Texas and others has no intrests and hard for jolla to get chips cause of lowvolumes

intel in other side can use jolla as hmm "betatesters" of theyr mobile platform?
