#142Anyone else really distracted by the extremely messy desks. Who honestly leaves a wet, browning apple core just sitting on their desk. That's just going to be a sticky bloody mess later.
That's hilarious. Not to knock the phone, which may or may not be quite good, but I was also more interested in the things on the desk than the phone. Who's the person who said, let's put the apple in there? I'd like to know more about that decision as well.

Please forward this paragraph to their web folks. Just put it right at the top as a first-read. Then everything else makes a lot more sense.
I'm pretty sure they can't use "Nokia" in their advertisements.
Why not? Sega used to trash Nintendo in their ads. This isn't even insulting.
Re: Jolla
#144Earlier quoted context omitted.
For the people who are genuinely confused, Jolla is a company that sells smartphones, their first smartphone is also called Jolla; it runs Sailfish OS, which is effectively a fork of the Meego operating system which Nokia used in its N9/N900 phones, before they switched to Windows Mobile. This is not very surprising, because Jolla is a Finnish company principally made up of ex-Nokia engineers, including a lot of the…
Did they make the switch to Qt 5 before the release or will the first version ship with Qt 4?
Just found this page: https://sailfishos.org/about-technology.html
They use Qt 5.

#145I have no idea what the web design of the type Jolla has, but it's getting old really fast. Yes, it looks neat at first, but then it's confusing. Crashplan recently did their update with the same style. I'll shut up now if I'm the only one bothered by this trend.
I think it's mostly just weird because the fixed header doesn't have a border or anything along the bottom to let you know where it ends and the content begins. I see no reason for it to be fixed at all to be honest, the content isn't extremely useful. I also wish more sites would do min-height media queries before fixing elements to my screen. The header and footer here are pretty greedy with the spacing on this site.

On the homepage "Jolla.com" it says: Jolla is powered by Sailfish OS, a truly open and distinct mobile operating system. Navigate effortlessly with the gesture-based user interface and load the phone with top Android™ apps. So it is a phone since they call it a phone. :)
Imagine the difference had they said "Jolla is a smart phone powered by Sailfish OS, a truly open and distinct mobile operating system. Navigate effortlessly with the gesture-based user interface and load it with top Android™ apps." rather than bury the most important point on the whole website as a single word at the end of a long paragraph full of technical jargon. That would qualify as calling it a phone. Better s…
My first impression, thought Jolla is a user interface skin build on top of Sailfish OS due to the highlight of "gesture based".

For comparison, Nokia's N9 / Meego Harmattan (Jolla Sailfish's predecessor) site from 2011: http://swipe.nokia.com/design/ Nokia made a clearer case for the OS. Jolla's video shows a bunch of rapid-fire tasks that are too hard to follow, and doesn't really showcase the simplicity of the swipe system like Nokia did. There's not enough that's surfaced here to show why you'd choose Jolla over Apple or Google.
We all know how well N9 did in unseating Apple...
Might have done better if MS' trojan horse hadn't cancelled it on release...

#148$400 ? nope.
Re: Jolla
#149It would be awesome if Jolla would become a successful company after Nokia sold out to MS (because it seems like Jolla is a continuation of what would have been Nokias route without MS). Also i only heard good things about the N900, i love linux, i hope the handset/os is "free"... and 399€ doesn't seem to be too expensive. Also it looks well designed. Good luck, Jolla Team!
I think 400 euro is a lot for a device with these specs though. They are letting a huge number of devices "fly under them"(be cheaper) and the average consumer doesn't give a damn if the phone runs Sailfish OS or Android.
Nevertheless, I too wish them luck :)
Re: Jolla
#150Does no-one answer phone calls from their Mom anymore? Just me?
I was very saddened because of this and called my mom immediately with my Android.
Jolla - For people who don't answer to their mothers.
That's a strategy. Not necessarily the best, but strategy at least. I was a little bit lost because they were boasting so much about "Yoyo get Sailfish and you can run Android apps". Like in Blackberry phones before they realized they have to "reclaim their success".
