@nixCraft If it were available in the U S. and worked with a major carrier, absolutely!

@nixCraft it might (not) be the best phone since sliced 🍞, but as an #EU member state national I believe this #jollaphone initiative deserves our support and investment. Let's get this first batch built 🙌🏼 #sailfishos #eurostack

@nixCraft does sailfish have some advantages over mobian or postmarked os?

@nixCraft

Nope... I'm a first day #Jolla user, in fact I have several Jolla phones incl. Jolla tablet lying around 🥴 but I never really got used to it...

Feels pretty clunky to use, no widgets (I'm pretty addicted to widgets) and at the end you have a "Linux" phone, but only use Android apps as useful #SailfishOS apps are rare...

@nixCraft It pains me to say (because I would love to support one of the very few linux-phones), but I cannot quite digest that closed-source/proprietary UI and apps Jolla offers on top of their mostly open-source core linux OS.

If they could offer an alternative UI (like plasma mobile), I would have bought it!

I find atm Fairphones are a vastly better option.

@nixCraft I did enjoy their first phone a great deal. I am tempted, but the price is steep and I have a fairly new phone. Once the battery cannot last 1 hour, I will consider.

@nixCraft No, sorry. I'm a Linux and Open Source fan but while they generally suit my budget better than major brands, this package doesn't.

@nixCraft Only after a thorough security review by reputable researchers, and if it could run the mandatory credit card app I need to authorize use of my card.

@nixCraft I'd buy if the € were about 1/2 that. But the rest of it sounds managable. 🤔
