I don't play pokemon go and i don't have plans to do that.

Of course is navigation still possible. But if the map should orientate the right way, it needs a moving vector to get this done. So if you stand somnewhere in the country or move just slowly it's harder to tell where north is and where south. :mad:

So I have given away a compass for a FM Receiver. Don't know if that is a good move...:confused:

Accelerometer cannot be used to determine horizontal orientation at all, so it must have _either_ a compass or a gyroscope for any type of VR or AR. (Accelerometer+compass was how VR was done in the N9 -- remember that demo app with world headlines).

I'm really tired of this. I don't necessarily want high-end devices, but why do I have to think of trade-offs at this level of cheapness?

Navigation is GPS, not compass. Compass provides orientation even without physical displacement or GPS fix.

It means no Pokemon Go nor any kind of geographical AR, though.

And it's eekkelund :)

I added issues with PokemonGo on JollaC here.

/me *sighs* and goes look up the price of the Fairphone.

(Note that it's not about PkGo of course, but I did enjoy Skyview... and of course, maps...)

EDIT: The Jolla C is too lowend for my taste, and the Fairphone is way too highend. Probably will keep the Sbj as main phone for another year.

I hope there will bee soon :p an official Fairphone2 with sailfish. I thin Fairphone should have all features I need. But I want official support.

Got call from Schenker, they received package from TNT. I also received mail with disposition to fill and send back.

Anyone already gone through this process? They said it's visible all duty's are on senders side, but still need info to process customs stuff ...

I need HS number of Jolla C (customs tariff), if anybody knows this :)

Well the fairphone isn't that highend. Only the price is. But that has to be, otherwise they can't produce it fair. And to be honest I absolutly like the idea and I'm willing to pay more for this idea. Maybe you can gather a used one from ebay or somewhere else.

At first, I thought "Damn, this is light" and only later realized the battery was still in the box. Well, even with the battery it still seems lighter than J1 despite this page giving contradicting measures.

The bigger size made me think of the jump with N9->Jolla... and yes I have small hands, so I'd say one handed use will be slipping more and more away. Not that big of a deal for me, personally. However, the power button is now below the volume rocker and that actually helps the one-handed use if you happen to use the button like e.g. double press.

The screen protector was a bit poorly applied. It had some air under it in two places near the front facing camera but I luckily managed to even those out. Speaking of the screen protector, was the thing supposed to be oleophobic coated? The protector feels sticky and collects fingerprints quite remarkably (and I do wash my hands regularly and try to keep my fingers tidy, thanks for asking)? Then again, so does my dirt cheap glass shield on J1. I will probably consider a Brotech or similiar glass if/when they become available.

The screen looks sharp. The UI and OS seem snappy (but so does J1 after every OS update). No LED while loading, does blink after full charge, one color + dimmer than before (miss the J1 LED already). No plastic squeaking/creaking while handled.

Charged the battery to full and it's already down to 96% (and now 95%) after a couple of minutes. Seems odd, but maybe it stabilizes after a couple of recharges.

I didn't really take that many photos with the J1 camera so I cannot say much about the photo quality... "nice" will have to do.

What else... fits better in my jeans pocket and doesn't feel like the corners are trying to rip through the fabric like with the J1.
