"At the moment" still sounds hopeful (XMPP)

But full featured core implementation of SIP and XMPP should definitely be committed to and confirmed or mine will be shipping off to Australia upon arrival. No mistake on that.

Some fast notions from the top of my head:

The phone is fast, responsive and intuitive coming from N9. I´ve gotten it to freeze when I took a photo (I heard this is a known bug, but hard to reproduce =) and a few times the pulley menus have frozen as well.
Map app works well and seems to be quite fast. No option for offline navigation, didn´t work when I turned wlan and internet off. Has turn-by-turn navigation, you can choose car or by foot.
You can´t change the options in the lock screen´s pulley meny (not yeat, at least).
Whatsapp and Spotify work well.
I have received only one call from Whatsappa registration, sound quality seemed ok.
Universal copy-paste seemed to work, at least between native Notes and Quicklist and Android FB.
Plays FLAC (yay!), sound quality is good. Occasional creaks from pulley menus can be heard when I have my ear phones.
The feed doesn´t seem to work, or I just don´t know how yet. When I pull from down, it brings out the notifications etc but doesn´t show the FB/etc feed like in demos. Have to look more into this later.
The limited TOH contains an ambience (orange stripes, called The First One) and ring tones (haven´t looked into those yet).
The browser seems to be fast, although the scrolling could be a bit faster. No landscape mode yet, as is known. The options bar appears at the bottom of the screen when you scroll up a bit and you have to choose the tab bar to type in the url.

And oh, I almost forgot: I got Marc to sign my TOH (on the inside of course, so it won´t wear off). Apparently I was the first one, again, to get one signed by him (he had only signed one n900 previously). =D

I can't give you a proper answer on that. Swype isn't just a piece of technology - it's a product (http://www.nuance.com/landing-pages/products/swype/), and as such, would require us talking to Nuance (or vice versa) and coming to an agreement about how things should work.

Maybe Jolla could rekindle the Meego team's relationship with Swype ;-)

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Us it possible to change what happen with swipe left right with configuration only?

Possible to add more screens to the OS?

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

I think the problem is a bit more elaborate. Mer caters for GPLv3 allergic vendors, but the assumption that all vendors are GPLv3 allergic is worng. Jolla isn't I presume. So, the proper way to do that would be to make two interchangeable subsets of packages within Mer (those won't be all Mer packages, just some which are affected by this issue). I.e. one set for GPLv3 allergic vendors, and other for GPLv3 tolerant. So these sets could be replaceable by installing some corresponding metapackage.

Do you think this can work out? Keeping some packages forever frozen in ancient versions for all users because of the GPLv2 nature sounds a bit weird to me.

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Do you mean when you swipe from lock/home screen or in general? No options at the moment at least.

How'about Linphone? Someone could test it if it works and report.

What would be useful (post whistle-blowing era), is an app to make encrypted video calls over ZRTP.

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Yep, I'm aware of that.

Are we saying Jolla have not even started such discussions? Or are you saying Nuance wanted too much in licensing fees?

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

I mean in general. Like an example pre-configured so you can swipe from left to right the browser is presented instead of current view. It's so lame to have same action both left and right. inefficient
