What is wrong with Jolla?

Zlatan Todoric

2015-12-19 12:25

Jolla management really seems to not understand a first thing about how to deal with consumers. They "sailed" on wings people believing it will be open source product. They got litterally hunderds of request and question for why it isn't? Answers, I found once something along in these lines "we plan in future".

The reallity - they aren't a good company. They still didn't ship tablets, they don't even know how to deal with that, they don't answer on people question and they even don't issue refunds for people that gave money for tablets. Jolla, you suck!

They got some new funding with it but their blog post about it also sucks big time. Unless they open source SailfishOS they will go nowhere nor do I have any further interest in such bad behavior of one company that plays on community feeling.

If you want a better experience and more open source then you should go with Tizen, FirefoxOS (although Mozilla closed development), Cyanogen, Android, Replicant and so on...

I guess it's difficult to say for an outsider. But let me guess.

Poor management - tablet was funded with 4xx% with $2500000. Still they only manage to produce 300. How is that even possible?

Nokia syndrome - Many came from Nokia witch was slow and I guess the used the skills from there and result was slow.

Jolla is cool and I hope them succeed but they must solve the tablet or refund before new year.

oh guys i find you so embarassing when you complaing about evergreen old time passed.
i have never tried maemo, but i have tried meego after trying sailfish.
There are some differences, some features better on meego , some on sailfish. but i think sailfish is a step foward meego ( and it seems to be logic, cause it is based on it). However Jolla's sailfish is as closed in Ui as Meego, so apart for nostalgic queens , there's nothing to complain about. The only think someone can really claim is that maemo was really open so Meego and sailfish are both from dark side of the force (cit Dart Fener). But ONLY under the full openness aspect.

personally even if i dont like some part of behaviour jolla has had...i was sad thinking about fail of the company...So i got happy when recent news came out.
This let me think that i still trust them and even if we dont have to act like groupie (saying yes to everything, even if wrong), we also shouldnt be so negative...

That was indeed a great device.

Nokia 1101 is the right answer. Sold more than 250 millions

Do you mean this or that?

Anyway, the right answer is 42!

Bloody Coca-Cola should publish their recipe and Mercedes all their blueprints. What's wrong with them? They suck!
