I presume you're joking here.

companies that persuade people to part with large sums for the devices ususally have a good explanation for why that cost is justified...

I cannot criticise Jolla for the build quality. I've dropped mine many times and other than having a few dings, it's been a warrior. Having said that, I think you'd be crazy to spend €250 on a new one as it's slow now and certainly isn't going to be getting faster.

To me it is proof that Sailfish is totally "sufficiant" for daily use.
If you are not pre-influenced by A:"SpecMania", B:"Earlier Usage Paradigms" and C:"iOS & Android Fanboyism" that is.
She was a total smartphone noob and just used mobiles for banking TANs and calling. Now she is using more online services than ever and even tweets.
I just set her up all email and social media and she never complained about a thing but is bragging among her girls with a unique phone experience with nice lastu candy
Ok, i can see that being turned into "my wife is not very demanding when it comes to functionality, so a jolla is sufficiant", but maybe those functions are simply not "that" necessary to common people.

However you should not "drop it wrong"

Opera Android works even better in my experience.
(night) reading mode
It's lightning fast and when I see something interesting I can save it as PDF for later reference (weblinks do die)
Just having to use the Android back button is somewhat inconvenient due to its location.

Fairphone 1 or 2.
"A second path we are exploring is the possibility of replacing the Android software by alternative operating systems (Ubuntu OS/Firefox OS/Sailfish OS) in an effort to prolong the life of the device (as that software is more cost-effective to maintain)"
https://www.fairphone.com/2015/09/16...t-fairphone-1/
"The good news is that Sailfish 2.0 is ready to license to hardware vendors and OEMs, providing one path for the possibility of porting Jolla to the next Fairphone."
"If you are concerned about security on your phone, Jolla has announced a partnership with SSH Communications Security to create a “Sailfish Secure” version of their OS, a secure mobile platform. Jolla informed me that although there are no specifics to discuss yet, they are aiming to have first solutions out during 2016, which also depends on the potential end-customers.
One issue raised by our community is how open Sailfish OS really is. While it is built on an open source core, it still remains somewhat proprietary, which may be a concern for some community members. "
https://www.fairphone.com/2015/03/17...congress-2015/
63% out of (only) 361 voters votes for Sailfish OS in this poll
https://forum.fairphone.com/t/poll-i...ng-system/6593
I think it is time to help Jolla choose sides , it is clear to me that Fairphone is ready to choose them if some concerns about openness and security are being solved.
Needless to say, Jolla as it stands is already the most fair company compared to Android Google.

I have a feeling we won't see Intex sailfish phone.
Installed this facebook account under Sailfish out of curiousity but finally the facebook beast seemed to be easier to control via the mobile web site.
Mobile browser of choice: Firefox for Android.
