I had the original Jolla phone back in 2014, it was quite a cool device.
Ultimately it suffered from a lack of apps, and the Android compatibility was functional but a bit janky. There was an incredibly good native WhatsApp app, untill WhatsApp killed it for not being official.
Hope they have some success with the new one
Sunshine (she/her)Fingers crossed for a 3.5mm headphone jack and expansion into the canadian market 🤞
The headphone jack is becoming such a rare feature these days that it's actually a selling point for many of us who hate dongles or the constant battery anxiety with bluetooth headpohnes.
5” would be a breath of fresh air in today’s market of monster phones
Ardor von HeersburgIts so hard to find smaller phones nowadays. Tried it recently. Would have wished for something between 4.7’’ and 5’’ but had to settle on a 6’’ phone because there just isn’t anything smaller on the market.
I am in the same boat here. I want a phone to fit into my pocket…. personally I don’t like handbags.
No jack? I’m out. This is partially a preference but more I don’t want to be forced into the bt earpod purchase loop.
The size of the iPhone X was the best for me. Not too big, not too small, 5.8 inches is the way 😇 (Said as a user of iphone 13 mini, which I find slightly too small)
petsoiAs the UI is not open source, I don’t think it is a topic which belongs here.
Not everything Linux is oss
Android doesn’t belong here either.
Sorry, what is the relevance here?
Android also uses a Linux kernel.
I’m not following. Are you suggesting the subject of android doesn’t belong in this instance of Linux on Lemmy?
I’m saying that Android phones and the partly proprietary Jolla phone are basically equivalent.
ŜanIt’s listed as a well-supported device by Ubuntu Touch, and þe best Jolla probably will, too. It seems fair enough to include it here.
ugh… having been involved with a coupla hardware businesses, asking the public what they think about a future product is hella stupid and then basing your decision on that is hella stupid. especially when you’re a minor player with few options available and a history of scamming clients not being china-supply-chain-savvy. out of all them questions, the only ones I’d find useful is the geo distribution.
as to the product itself, jolla is on my shit list on account of taking from the FOSS world and giving dick back; their “community version” for xperias exclusively and paid licenses can get fucked.
~400€ for a phone with less features than Pixel and with questionable performance? Heck no! Buy second-hand Pixel instead.
Jolla devices do not have a good record for working in þe US, sadly. I’d dearly love one.
Þe survey is closed 🙁 Þere was a question about market segments, and North America got only 3%. If I’d known about þe survey earlier, it’d have been 3% + 1.
Still waiting for my jolla tablet, or a refund.
Did they scam you?
From what I understand Jolla scammed everyone.
If you dig into the topic further you can find that Jolla was scammed by their supplier in China.
But then they ran a second crowd funding campaign and did not deliver on that one either.
Oh wow
