Replacing N900 with Jolla - should I wait?
 

My beloved N900 is showing its age and the lower left part of the touch screen does not always work properly, especially when the phone gets colder that room temperature.

One thing I love about the N900, besides the keyboard, is the seamless SIP integration into the dial app.

How does SIP work on a Jolla?

I don't expect much of a phone, just the normal stuff that probably everyone else expects on today's smartphones, like SSH server+client, OpenVPN, some programming languages and a decent web browser.

Email (IMAP + SMTP) would be nice also.

thanks,

Here's quite a nice sum up. A dialpad integration was shown in one of the early videos of the system, but has not seen the light of the day yet.

All of this is supported well on Jolla.

So if I were you, I would wait to see how the TOHKBD turns out and if it works well, I'd go for Jolla+TOHKBD.

Wait for Jolla next phone. Coming later this year. Right now Jolla can't be trusted so I suggest looking elsewhere right now.

Re: Replacing N900 with Jolla - should I wait?
 

Ok, another suggestion.

Don't listen to Dave in this regard (who is disappointed by Jolla Tablet not supporting 3G). There's no point in waiting for "Jolla 2" - the current Jolla hardware works perfectly fine (even though N900's camera is much better - but again, there's never gonna be a device like the N900) and the only thing you would get from getting "Jolla 2" would be the likely incompatibility with TOHKBD.

And again, if everyone waits for "Jolla 2", there isn't gonna be any "Jolla 2" :)

Am in the same boat , and I want to get Jolla but I want to get the next model.

I keep waiting out for news on Jolla2, but as nodevel says, it's only the tablet that's being discussed right now and the next phone is nothing but a rumour.

So I'm twiddling my thumbs on deciding on whether to go for Jolla and TOHKBD, or just wait and wait and wait and wait.

I'm coping fairly well without a smartphone to be honest

Re: Replacing N900 with Jolla - should I wait?
 

It is a great device even if it has some flaws,i would say just buy it together with tohkbd

Re: Replacing N900 with Jolla - should I wait?
 

where can I order the tohkbd, what was the price?

@spag

NOTHING can substitute substitute N900!

Get yourself another used one, if you like SIP, text-editing capable and user-agent-changeable browser, lots of packages, ...

Get the Jolla if you like something new, a beta (PR1.0) OS, something more-future-proven maybe,...

I am ambivalent but for sure will never let go of my N9x0s.

Not really helpful, hmm? ;)

Buy a BlackBerry

It's clear you need a keyboard and IMO you should wait until SIP works on Sailfish (Jolla) exactly the way it does on the N900.

It might some day but as much as I like Jolla, as ex-Nokians they appear to be still shellshocked by the rapid decline of Maemo devision and the whole of Nokia soon after in a way that they assume the N900's basic integrated features are NOT what the market needs first.

I have both Jolla and N900 and if the N900 breaks down I buy another N900.
If the Jolla breaks down I'll hold my next move and wait for Jolla to resemble N900 II closer.

He expects SIP integration, SSH server+client, programming languages and OpenVPN and you recommend a Blackberry??
Good one :)

Re: Replacing N900 with Jolla - should I wait?
 

I'd wait until at least MWC in March to see if a new model or partnership surfaces.

sip hasn't surfaced yet and there is still a lot of stuff that is sort of there but has no UI integration. There is still a lot of stuff that is still broken and not much the community can do about it as Jolla are blocking access because of closed source and unfinished APIs.

If you need SIP, CalDAV, CardDAV today get a mid range android phone and sit it out waiting for Jolla to finish implementing these. I'm guessing it'll be another 12 months at the rate of current development.

Right now is good time to buy Jolla, since there is 50€ discount code. http://reviewjolla.blogspot.fi/2015/...-of-jolla.html
