Indeed, that post is also not very interesting.
Music players and music management software is going to be available in great numbers and as someone still using and loving the Radio TX feature of the N808 when using random rental cars I am looking at a compromise less music functionality / flexibility regardless of how nice the standard music software is.

In trade I want to see secure XMPP integrated + videocall.
SIP.
After all this is a telephone, a communication centered device that is supposed to go beyond 2009 / functionality of the N900.
It is made by brains from the Nokia team that has proven to understand what makes and excellent Mobile implementation of the Linux OS with all the basic features integrated.

And it is supposed to run on steroids (faster Chinese hardware).

Tell me something about security options , that this device will not send all my contacts to a shady server before I can even discover the basic functionality of applications rights management is lacking.

Show some web browser that allows me to access desktop sites w/o adds and scripts that eat my battery.

So far we see only basics. Rows of icons with a working touch screen.
Time to upgrade that image a little bit, Jolla.

Let some professional user make a cool video for once.

Show some multitasking / copy pasting from websites to email to chat, videoconferencing including file transfers in high stress environment.
Something people would want to learn if only the device would offer the possibility and it's creators wouldn't be too shy to tell the world about it.

I think it was rather the CPU than the RAM which was holding the N9 back to be faster.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Well, as always, it comes down to diff. peoples diff. needs/wants doesn't it, some of what you outline doesn't reflect mine, but that's okay, that's your needs/wants.
And apparently you omitted my full post, which indicates were fundamentally in agreement...

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

They have said christmas. As far as I know Chrismas is end of december...

I did say that last week and also pointed that out to the jollausers site but still people wait...

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Have they confirmed christmas?than its Max 30 days to go so everyone can get it fr.o.m. Mr santa.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Yeah, they've been a tiny bit more specific in some recent interviews, saying "before xmas", who knows if that's accurate though.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Excelleto, manjefico, bravo...Then i Knowles what i need for christmas. Anyone ready to launch a countdown. Or is that on me?

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

I think it will come in chrismas but only in FInland preorders is my guess...

“@CrunchyLatte We target to start shipping within 2013, with pre-ordered units to Finland and Europe.”

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

so I may as well get the nexus 5 and wait for the new year for a jolla mobile...

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Yep, sadly it was always going to be well into 2014 before those outside Finland & northern/central EU can get their hands on one, I'll have several new devices before then.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Well, I remember people getting to Europe with low cost airlines to get early Windows Mobile devices that were not yet available overseas for some reason. :)

I was using Palm T back then and wondered: "They are really going so far by plane to get THAT?" :)

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Indeed, I'm not that fanatical though, simply not worth it for me, even the cheapest airfares from Oz cost quite a lot!

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

well, why not combine it with some some other cool stuff like a vacation . What can you do in ginland more than getting a jolla.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

I can recommend snowboarding :D
As an australian you should be an apt surfer so I'd assume it comes naturally to you...

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

This really is "the water-cooler thread" nowadays isn't it... :D
Good point, maybe I'll do just that, then again, I have lots of financial burdens in my life right now, so I don't foresee next yr being feasible.

I wish, when I was really young I tried to pick-it-up but I quickly lost patience/interest, nowadays I'm barely fit enough to get past the breakers!

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

This thing is available from week 51. Some wild speculation will probably ensue...

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Well, since we are OT, if you are going to go on holidays to get a Jolla, make sure you get the Jolla in the last day to avoid staying in the hotel playing with the phone all the time.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Cant be correct. IT doesn't fit my countdown.plus why not release a week earlier so people can give it a way for Christmas. I think it will be earlier.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Queue wild speculation in 1,2,3... :D

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Those 2nd preorder will get it:

I guess thats instead of a tshirt because they are nopt the first :D :cool:

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Me:I think the launch is immanent.

You: why?

Me: Because stskeeps lurking the thread since about a week back.

You: Wow you are right. He is. That dave999 is too damn smart! Bring the beers. it's time for release party...where is my Santa suit?

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Green? And ugly rubber Makia(+Jolla) logo?

I dont like it. I would like Jolla red. :p And with big Jolla logo so everyone can see it!

So.. who will start making those?

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

The genius is undeniable, you must be right...

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

lol

beers are a great idea though.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Lurking Stskeeps as a sign of the release?-) It's probably a sign of Jolla's interest to launch some community site. I hope.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

I hope for a new site free from trolls....

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Don't you think trolls will follow?-) Unless there will be stricter moderation, then someone will complain too. But new site will for sure be a fresh start, and hopefully technically focused like meego.com was while it was alive.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

meego.com was good, but at the same time it was very limited. We had very few discussion there and most threads have just a few pages. I don't think jolla going for Max 100 users, They want real people, users from every part of the world, hopefuly users,devs from all existing OS You understand that that won't end well when pople trying to know best ;). That means you can expect every kind of user, unless jolla fails big time, which we don't hope. Meego.com also had a brand new device to discuss, we don't yet.

But I think one great way could be to have a tech section for all areas. and one where you can talk. OS vs OS vs Phones Vs companies, release dates delays reason , you got it.

Another cool thing would be if only users who has a jolla phone can register for the forum :D

The single most important thing is how the culture is handle by the forum. The informal leaders are important and the way poeple speaking to eachother.

Also, If you cant have the discussion here, your can't have it on the other side of the fence...

anyone remembers Orangebox?

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

That could exclude developers who don't own a device, and they Jolla hardly want to do do that.

Also don't forget many potential users would be excluded from purchasing due to geographical and financial constraints, would you really want to restrict them from joining?

Finally this would hardly be in the "open" spirit.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

do you get the phone with it or what :eek:

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

I'm willing to pay $75 for a Sailfish image that I can simply download and install onto my HTC One. Make a license deal with CyanogenMod or something. CM maintains a lot of support for various phones already.

If they don't do that it's going to get hacked onto so many Android phones anyways and CyanogenMod will get pressured more and more by the public to put Sailfish features on their ROM.

So CM buys license for compatibility layer and license for Sailfish OS and CM gets downloads profit.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

I hate you :p

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Something "roughly" like that may be 1 feasible tack (in a multi-pronged strategy), why not think about it more carefully, re-word it, & then put it directly to them.

My Nokia (I refuse to use "Lumia") 1020 arrived yesterday... :p

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

That is great jalyst. More os ecperianced users gives smarter discussion . You dont have to use it all year long. Only test it and understand it.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Sorry mate, no clue.. My friend was staying in same hotel, saw this Jolla exec during breakfast. He was having a laptop with Jolla sticker on it.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Jolla has opened their store (https://harbour.jolla.com/ ) for developers:

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Information in English: https://lists.sailfishos.org/piperma...er/000989.html via @jukkaenlund @ Twitter

Harbour doesn´t seem open for me, too much traffic?

Edit:
"Jolla ‏@JollaHQ 23 min

@poisonedslo @jukkaeklund Looks like the demand got our servers again, fixing.."

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Has anybody got in to harbour.jolla.com yet? Been trying for couple of hours now.

EDIT: Nvm, it's back.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

No. I get a 'HTTP 502 Bad Gateway' error. And their email gateway bounces emails to the site administrator because it cannot relay the email ...

This may not be showing Jolla in the best light ...
