Screen is small next device must have a bigger screen. Screen size is a bit confusing indeed.

Lotsa ways of doing that.
For example my solution is following; snapping a photo with the device triggers rsync to my cloud, where the uploaded photo is added to my album script and immediately accesible via my web interface.
Simple and elegant, requires no actions whatsoever... take photo, and surf to the page with whatever equipment you have...
On the occasion network is unreacahble, for example if I am in the woods hunting for mushrooms, when I come back to civilized world I just trigger rsync and my taken snaps are processed.

Only issue for me with not having mass storage is that it makes it pretty hard to get photos off the phone without some aggro. Bit can always take the sd card out anyway, just not as convenient

Negatives outweighed by the positives?
There are negatives, like the browser feels a bit half-baked and lacks the landscape mode, but I tend to forget that as the device feels so pleasing in hand and is joy to use.

Do you agree with the mainstream media and how they're saying the UI is confusing (somehow) to them? Do you feel like it lived up to your expectations?
I did the experiment today that I gave my device to somebody who had never used N9 before, and watched for about a minute how he interacted with it. Then I showed him how to open the tutorial and he went throught with that. That was enough for him to grasp how the UI is supposed to be used

Just curious since it seems some folks are just far right or far left on how they like/dislike the Jolla phone.
@daveDave999, if anything the Jolla device is just a tad too large. N9 ws absolutely the perfect size for onehanded operation, Jolla device requires me to stretch my fingers then I execute the "close device" gesture with one hand...

On N9 I have a modification in the ifup scripts that detects when I enter my home WLAN and automatically triggers sync of everything.
I'd say you should for example modify your syncscript so that it bails out if not connected to WLAN, and does the full sync when you enter your lair.

Well, for mass storage mode you need to tether the device to your PC by USB cable, right?
So what is keeping you from using NFS mount or SAMBA mount to access the device over USB?
Or if you just quickly need to transfer some files use sftp or scp...
All those protocols work both over WLAN and over USB networking
However, what is keeping me is that I just want to plug the phone in any PC, be it girlfriends, colleague's, friend's to transfer a few pictures of movies.
Without installing any client, need for password of Wlan, or local administrator.
What I do need is security to turn USB mass storage off on my phone though.

I was thinking of getting both a Nexus 5 and a Jolla mobile and waiting till Sailfish is on Nexus 5. But it seems that one handed operations on a 5 inch screen may not suit my hands.
