Re: For sale: Jolla with cracked screen (digitizer still working) - £50

Call me a nice guy who just wants to see the thing used rather than sleeping forever in a draw.

And agreed to sell the phone.

For sale: Jolla with cracked screen (digitizer still working) - £50

Moving abroad soon so I need a dual-SIM handset.

My Jolla has a cracked screen, but it works absolutely fine. Hairline fractures, barely noticeable unless the light hits them. Does not impact...

Re: A Sailfish YotaPhone exists

Almost certainly. Though if a YotaFone with Sailfish ever is released, I hope it's made available within the EU.

Re: Jolla 2 expectations

5.5 inch? That's the same size as the Galaxy Note II. Getting into pretty uncomfortable territory at that point for small-handed individuals such as myself. Can't afford to make a niche device when...

Re: Jolla 2 expectations

Would you prefer a second Jolla, or a YotaPhone running Sailfish OS (http://reviewjolla.blogspot.co.uk/2015/05/news-sailfish-os-2-will-be-more-open.html)?

I mean, if you could only have one. Which...

Re: Sailfishto be official Mobile OS

Probably the best news for Sailfish and Jolla in a while - an actual partner (of sorts).

Now, who wants to join me in praying for a YotaPhone running Sailfish OS?

Re: Sw ecosystem of Sailfish, its health -or lack thereof

*Sigh*

I appreciate trying to get this thread back on track, but we all know they wouldn't and couldn't. No Android support and this OS would be dead.

Re: Alternative Sailfish ODM(s), latest news/rumours/speculation

Yeah. I think the only shot of privacy on the internet today would be Tor + Tails, with no accounts for anything. Sad times.

Actually, no, they can't. Aliyun is an AOSP fork (http://www.theverge.com/2012/9/16/3341712/andy-rubin-aliyun-os-fragmentation) without Google Play services (much like Amazon's Fire OS). Google...

Re: Alternative Sailfish ODM(s), latest news/rumours/speculation

Within the EU, it's almost certainly an abuse of their monopoly position, (http://recode.net/2015/04/21/googles-biggest-european-headache-isnt-search-its-android/) which is (one of the reasons) why...

Re: Jolla 2 expectations

HTC wouldn't be allowed by mother Google to make a Sailfish OS device with Alien Dalvik. Neither would any other Open Handset Alliance member.

Re: Alternative Sailfish ODM(s), latest news/rumours/speculation

If an OEM comes on board with a Sailfish phone and offers it up for sale within the EU, then I'll be buying it day one. If only to show that there is demand, that an OS outside of the big 3 is...
