When this thread was last most active, we knew very little, far more has become known since, there's still unanswered elements admittedly.
I suppose we could establish a thread dedicated to this area of discussion (or renew this one), but it seems redundant when:
(1)
We already have threads where we can (& do) discuss such subject matter
(2)
We're not likely to get the final pieces to the puzzle until after the 1st device is out
(We've been given several explanations as-to-why that's the case...)
So, Jolla admits that there'll be no custom ROMs or kernels.
Well, if it's truly a more open experience that people want, why not go Android? I had a custom kernel and ROM flashed in no time, after unlocking the bootloader, rooting, getting ADB + Fastboot, and flashing a custom recovery.
I just flashed a custom ROM based on 4.2.2 yesterday on my HTC One. The freedom does make a positive difference.
To each his or her own, and I still may get the Jolla phone later this year, but I'm sure it won't be as open.
How do we know more now then we did before about this?
REALLY? REALLY?
Are you srsly trying to suggest we haven't learnt a **** load more about their approach since July 2012 when we 1st heard about them? What about all the **** we learnt just before/after Slush?
Just because you have some kind of short --> long-term memory problem, doesn't mean folks should have to constantly re-hash stuff for you.
