How annoying it is that people think that America is a country. Now, let's go back to the Jolla UX please, otherwise we'll be here forever ;-)

Another question... when you connect the Jolla by USB to a preferably Linux/BSD computer, does it present a mass storage device? Anything like /dev/sdb or /dev/sdb1 (like the N9 used to do)? Or do you have to use this multimedia-thingy protocol to access it?

Is there any way to get English language and metric units? I miss some kind of en_DK locale!

Oh me god, that's horrible. Definitely hope to have a setting for that.

Maybe I'm too ancient or whatever, but I never want to use computer-like (that includes smartphones) devices in nothing else but in english. That doesn't mean I want to live in the age of enlightenment with imperial units :P.

So a separate setting for that would be most welcome in a future update.

Use the security question option instead of mobile security.

When I connect it to my Fedora Linux computer, there is temporarily mass storage device visible before I select the connection mode from Jolla's dialog but when I tried to access the device it won't give anything out (capacity zero bytes). After selecting PC connectivity from Jolla the device disappears and you get only MTP access.

I almost spilled my tea and dropped my crumpets when I saw that.

The mass-storage you see is a fake mass-storage profile to trick the PC into providing 500mA to charge. Otherwise there is no way to charge for sure when connected.

If you install developer mode you will also get an RNDIS device with ssh.

Unfortunately mass-storage is a pain to work with and as such has not been retained. However it should not be insanely hard to get it to work with a fat formatted SD-card in the device.

The doc is here if you want to have a go at it:
