I got a call from TNT today. Now i can see that customs released my package. Still the estimation is 5th of october, but the caller from TNT told me that should be delivered during this week.

Haha, i held down the volume up for good 30 seconds before realizing the power switch is below the rocker now :P

My quick first impression is added snappyness all over and much better build quality than feared.
The camera comes up in under 1 second, yaay. So does settings and most jolla apps.

The level of grip of the backside is extremely comfortable. This is the first full display phone where i do not fear to have it slip away. perfect.
The rounded edges add its part.
I will totally need less grip on the display though and currently take measures for Bedifol to do some nice stuff.

Very firm sim slots, nice, no problem with "not so perfectly cut and moving sims" i got.

Zero complain, only some critics on rather high level.
The first point you can spot cheep production and material thrift is when inserting the battery.
We have a thin batterycover. I hope it will not crack to soon.
The connector pins are flimsy and hollow and do not look like they withstand changing the battery that often.

The guys at the injection molder could profit from some training and added manpower to polish down the sharp edges would make this phone perfectly suitable for "western" market in low price range.

Could somebody post a backside photo without a back cover and battery?

try the video in http://jollafr.org/video-deballage-d...unity-edition/ and see if that is enough for you

Autsch, sd card hotswap is sadly hindered by the fact that the battery is blocking the angle to slot in the sd.
I was trying to test the new 2.0.2.45 feature to store backup on sd and swap.

Here is your sharp corners and overview of the backside EDIT: and the pins.








But i seems to hold. My daughter pushed the c down on tiles from the table a minute ago O.o no scratch after it hit flat on backside. pffffew.

Any early thoughts on multi-tasking? Can I leave apps running indefinitely without finding them recycled?

Man, that's driving me insane!

All my other mobile phone have it above (except for the Lumia 950XL which has it in the middle), so annoying...

hm, no btrfs at all. No btrfs sdcards mountable. Bummer

so... try some one root@android@JollaC ?

Even with my manly/huge/presidential hands find it very good as unlocking with double press would be hard if they kept the j1 setup, you'll get used to it quickly (unless you more often fiddle with volume than power button)
