Sure, but i need more than this to put the N9 in my desk drawer. I am saying if I have right now both devices, Jolla phone & N9, i'll still use the Harmattan device as main phone. I don't miss any functionality in it. Have Spotify, WhatsApp, Tweetian, CuteTube, a few games & emulators to waste my time, a very nice Maps application (that's a thing we can not say right now for the other half ;) at least not yet). To be honest i have pretty much all what I need (despite missing the Steam chat app android has, this is the only thing i miss).

Ask yourselves that question: Do you really thing the Jolla phone is a step forward or backward for you, N9 users? Will you carry it and thing "Yeah, this is it, that's what i wanted, this is way better than my previous N9 days".

So nothing will really improve if i switch to Jolla to only get a dual core phone. Heck, even S40 dumbphones have +1Ghz processors nowadays. I want to be amused, want to be astonished, want the desire the new phone, like on the N900 days, like with the N9, and the pictures, the hands on videos we are start seeing only put a MEH face on me.

Maybe it's just me, but for me "100 e voucher" among with other stuff sounds like I get something worth of 100 e, not for paying now 100 e. As I said, I'm confused. :)

It's simple.

You pay €100 now, you get a t-shirt and a limited edition Other Half. Instead of paying €399 for the device, you will pay €299.

In essence, if you pre-order now, you get a free t-shirt, you will get the device first before others and you will get a limited edition back shell.

On the engadget video they just did Marc clearly says the screen resolution (and hence size) is not finalized but will be HD.

Yes I don't like the huge bezels either but it is likely to shrink if they just get enough of us complaining about the huge bezel.

At around 1min10s we see a 3D software animation which is updated even in the miniature of multi-tasking screen. Like Maemo 5 and MeeGo Harmattan.

Android, iOS, WP : go to the hell, dumbed down mobile OS ! :p

Can't be compared at all with the N9's beautiful design. Unfortunately, I guess that the OS won't ever be fully functional in the N9 (as it always happens when porting OSes across mobile devices).

I think the functionality embedded makes the desing valid.

Imagine the possibilities the wireless connection of the second half.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement

I am totally disappointed by Jolla, I’m waiting for months for this device, and then I have to learn that you do not deliver to Austria. Am I a second class customer because I live in Austria? Are my Euros worth less? I would have gegreut forward to the possibility of pre-and then the disillusionment no delivery to Austria, the country that lies in the middle of Europe. Ciao Ciao Jolla Sailfish I’m not a device I beg of you will continue to use my N9.

My dream would be an HTC one with sailfish. Jolla hardware device is very weak and in 6-7 months when it comes on the market it is totally outdated
