Assuming EU has the same everywhere 32GB + lastu case had 54.74$ tax to pay

The tablet is rather snappy, but only after the update to 1.1.9.28. Pages in the browser load almost instantly, which should be showing

More later.

Yes, it holds the cover on over the screen, or to the back when you're using it

It's my hope and conceit that I'll be doing something with my tablet creative and valuable enough that I want to also keep a small library of memory cards. Not sure how I'll physically store my storage yet. My ad hoc method of tossing them in a mini-drawer with a teensy-weensy name written on them has reached the limit of search-and-retrievability. Hopefully, I'll figure that out before my Jolla arrives. Should be no problem . . .

thank you for your quick response your information will help me decide if I take the option to return the tablet or keep it.

If you want big permanent storage, you should get big permanent storage, not rely on crutches like SD cards.

Which is why I never understood why some devices, including Nokia N900 and the Jolla phone, make it so difficult. At least the Jolla tablet makes it simpler (except not really).

They make it difficult to prevent accidental removal and memory corruption, that is why I dislike some computers like the Asus T100 or possibly the Jolla Tablet where the slot is uncovered and the card can be removed easily.

Even the old Nokia 808 offers a very useful USB on the go feature where Jolla can be accessed by FTP or SSH.

The purpose of removable storage is multiple: certainly removability but primarly expandabiliy and upgradablity.

Also not many companies offer user friendly options in fixed memory. And reliability remains to be seen (Samsung 16GB eMMC "sudden death syndrome" )

Apple and Nokia N9 with their 16GB models come to mind crippling memory options.

With an additional micro SD slot user has the freedom to make permanent storage limited in capacity and reliable:

or large and cheap: (128GB at 16 USD

)

SD card is the standard removable media for daily insert / removal operations whiel Micro SD card is more practical for a situation of upgrade memory and forget.

It has originally been developed with mobile phones in mind.

Contact wear and risk of loss at smaller than stamp size form factor is higher.

One question for those who already got their tablet:

Do you own a Jolla Phone and have tried to export / import via Backup all the accounts for example? Plus media files and or other?

Since i am traditionally lazy

i definetly want to try that. (my mailserver is not in finland so i have always to tweak ports) plus all the calendars and so on. Would be convenient to import accounts.

Kiitos and Thanks
