I think mawakit (a muslim app) would be important to some people. I have lots of friends that use this app ALOT.

Blackberry use Volume + and - buttons together, both with Playbook and BB10 and it works really well.

* Messaging app should allow multiple windows to be open. I really use it in my N9.
* I wish they will change the "Only show 9 open apps". How do I get to other apps/windows? Why can't they just make it scroll? Edit: Make it optional if they really don't want it to scroll as default.
* Some good games
* LinkedIn

Galaxy... Swipe over screen to take snapshot. Fastest and coolest way, hope Jolla go for that move.

i think they want to make the ui/ux as simple as possible. scrolling will make the ui/ux complicated.

I would like to have something like nokia sleeping screen

When it comes to features:
  • Block calls - per contact/number/pattern. Either with auto-silence or auto-reject, preferably both.
  • Block messages - auto trash SMS/MMS/IM/email with similar settings as for blocking calls.
  • Bluetooth HFP, PBA/PBAP, SAP, SIM, rSAP and AVRCP profiles for allencompasing in-car support. MAP has already been mentioned, but the aforelisted are as equally important. Or at least allow us to hack the BT stack like on the N900 - to this day I can't get my N9 to behave nicely with my car.
  • Browser history and cursor hover mode like in the MicroB on the N900. Also, a quick way to scroll to the top/bottom of a page.
  • Debug/verbose mode for every built-in application so that we can more easily and accurately report possible bugs. To this day I can't figure out why the N9 refuses to connect to one particular IMAP server as it just throws a simple 'Error connecting...' message.

When it comes to specific apps, apart from the already mentioned:
  • Swype keyboard (should be built-in if you ask me)
  • Billboard (from the N9) app but with more control and abilities for which support would have to come from the SailfishOS itself. Most preferably a blend between the Billboard app and Nokia Sleeping Screen from Symbian.
  • Already mentioned but +1 for Fuelpad (from the N900, never made it to the N9)
  • A good source-code editor, MeeTxtEdit at the very least
  • CloudGPS
  • Marble
  • A fully featured XBMC remote

If it is possible, Voicecall!

Dobleclick of the Powerbutton and speaking the Name in Phonebook makes the call

i received this mail from s3dict(for symbian anna, belle) developer

************************************************** ***********************
I didn't know Jolla already started making a phone. I just had a look at the video. S3Dict is written in Qt, so it shouldn't be difficult to port to Sailfish. However, I would need at least a simulator of Sailfish (or better a phone). So I will see.

In the meantime I switched to development for Blackberry 10, which is relatively similar to Sailfish (and Meego). But I won't be porting S3Dict for BB 10, because similar apps are already available.
