Re: Jolla User Experience Thread

And has there been any review by independent agencies, so far its fan boys being fanboys. Objectivity is not their strongest trait.

Most probably because regular reviewers didn't pre-order their Jolla so they don't have one on their hands? Or maybe because they are too big time for the Jolla? Go ask them why instead of tiring people with the same question repeatedly!

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread

Could someone show us how the phone handles video in the webbrowser? e.g. embedded youtube videos on a webpage etc.

Maybe someone can go to www.theberrics.com and play a movie from that website. N9 always had difficulties in playing movies directly from the browser.

Thanks!

Jolla advantages

user experience is better on Jolla, feels more natural for touch devices. It is continuation of work that n9 started.
jolla is much faster
more open
Android support
frequent updates, hopefully :)
has newer technology (newer versions of software packages) and more codecs supported
at the start of its journey (n9 is at the end of its journey, for example no more updates, bug fixes and third party software for n9)
more up to date web engine (better support for web standards and current web pages/services)
lighter weight
hardware expansion through other half

N9 advantages

more conventional UI (more familar for people from Android, iPhone and desktop)
more features on some of the apps like Maps
time on lock screen
USB access to files works with Fedora Linux (if I remember correctly, didn't test it now)
mature product (no many bugs any more), many old third party software available
physically smaller

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread

Does Jolla work as a Mass storage device on OSX?

Web browser played fine the video at jolla.com (clicked: "watch the video" below "A new beginning"). Because browser doesn't currently support the landscape mode, the video was not very big on the screen/web page.

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread

Someone tested WAZE for Android ? It work or not ?
Thanks

Is Sailfish better than Harmattan? In ease of use, intuition and sheer looks?

I think Jolla is simpler and more consistent in UI design. Jolla requires little more learning because it is leaving behind many UI concepts that you are familar from desktop (and iPhone and Android). After short learning experience it feels very natural (except dismissing notifications screen). Jolla tries to be native touch screen UI, not desktop UI.
