Random rebooting, the blue screen of death, defective new 'security' features, a UI that makes its users puke - you just can't afford to release beta products like that in todays super competitive smartphone market.

Apple are not a software company, they just can't compete with the big boys. They need to dump iOS and adopt a failed third party OS from the most toxic partner they can find before it's too late.

Did you confuse your OSs....somehow above is sooo reminiscent of Symbian...

Re: Jolla difrerentiation

Ever answered the question on why you bought Windows Phone or iOS in the past? What compelled you? What sold you on those platforms?

And no... "for the lulz" or "it just works" aren't quality answers. I'm genuinely curious and can probably match your story about why WP8 with my very own wife's reasons for choosing that platform.

I think a better question would be... how could Jolla convince a non-believer. Not that Lumiaman isn't probably trolling each and everyone of us; but there's a point in this thread.

If you're already invested into iOS, Android or even WP, how will Jolla convince those folks to switch? The Android folks might have a good reason due to ACL. But to the non-geeks, how will Jolla convince them?

And I doubt that anybody in this forum could do so without invoking what folks/laymen would call either a "too technical", "too geeky", "too fanyboy" or something else that's "too" something but not overly convincing.

I'd rather err on the side of caution but the last portion I'm talking about could be what Jolla needs to concentrate on the most - right after distribution channels and quality assurance that is.

I will tell you why. Apple was always a temptation, and I was a lover of everything Nokia, but apple was the first touch screen what N900 didn't do: very easy to use, you can use it for both personal and biz. Even n900 was not considered biz device and lacked many features I needed. IPhone was the first device that had flawless email and entertainment in one. With lumias, nokia and ms copied apple. Naturally I liked Nokia design and bought WP. I love the simplicity, best biz tools, and I only use handful of apps, so big and small tiles are great as I can immediately find what I want. I currently use both. Prefer Lumia call quality to iPhone but that could be because of ATT for iPhone. I still prefer social integration of Maemo, but you can't have it all.

Re: Jolla difrerentiation

I still haven't heard how Jolla will attract average Joe. No convincing points so far. It seems to me like Jolla is destined for obscurity before getting out of the shadows of San Diegos La Jolla beach.
