Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

E-mail didn't yet get a proper open and standard protocol for duplex e-mail notifications (push). The only close approximation is IMAP IDLE, which is close in the idea to XMPP BOSH. It's not really a proper solution, just a workaround but it works good enough until better protocols will be designed. Jolla should probably support it.

It's weird though, that in this day and age such thing isn't ready still.

UPDATE: There is apparently this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lemonade_Profile

Hey dude, which century do you live in. It's been 7 years since Jobs and iphone. Certain things are taken for granted now by the average Joe. The 99 percentile will not be happy with beta and alpha versions of email app. The current Jolla is clearly a developers tool, not very day device for average Joe.

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Well, if someone calls you, you are identified at once. So the same should be true for emails. The only issue could be the volume of the incoming email, making this infeasible (SPAM DDoSing the mobile network ;) ).

uh....... that is something I really hate. A very sneaky way to actually rip off customer who was lured with "free" app just to realize that after XY levels there's no more unles you pay something.
It makes sense for buying tables (an actual whole new game) in pinball arcade but buying 5 moves in candy crush for 1.20$ is :eek:

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

well, certain things were granted in 2007 also. Certain thing were granted when WP7 came out. What's your point?

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

Regarding the verge review, the guy is complaining that gestures from outside do different things than gestures inside an app.

Duh! Then what would be the point of outside gestures? If they weren't really nice and productive neither apple (ios7 control center), google(chrome) mozilla(latest FirefoxOS), nor BlackBerry (BB10) would have implemented them.

So it isn't even unfamilliar (which he confuses as unintuitive) while the exact same gestures on the N9 were unfamilliar back then.

Comparing everything with android and saying they should go with it is stupid, it's like saying that all other car manufacturers should stop producing their cars and quit because the corolla is the most popular car in the world.

Regarding email push, N9 had perfectly good push email functionality. (In fact it was the only part of fenix I liked) My gmail messages appeared faster on the N9 than the GMail web interface.

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

engadget also complains about the UX, but they are known to be fandroids, so...

Personally, it took me 5 minutes (yes, 5) to get used to the N9 and I could never go back. In fact, I keep trying to wake up my iPhone with a double tap. I estimate that Jolla will be another 5 minutes to get used to. The question is whether I could still go back to the N9 seemlessly ;-)

EDIT: engadget is still trying to upload their video. They are probably using an S3 or something or other ;-)

Re: Jolla User Experience Thread
 

AFAIK, Apple have one or more servers to get messages from all user push services, and resend them to his/her mobile. The advantage of this is that the phone have an unique push channel openned, consuming less battery in net connections and a bit less CPU and memory to mantain push channels opened. Also affect less to the lack of decent multitasking.
