What i hate the most is all those promises, but i do remember, how there were huge threads waiting for bug fixes and updates, speculations on what would be new features and if bugs would be fixed(i lloved those "wontfix" statuses as well). How was the lack of communication and knowing what's gonna happen to your device and what support it would have. Most internet was filled with "awesome device", "true linux", "amazing", "love it" and no actual info. I want to belive that Jolla can do something special and interesting, but on other hand, they don't tell you any actual info, they just make general promises. And as i see the future may be not different from harmattan.
I don't see opensource, community involved project to have no actual communication except some pictures and hashtags on twitter with speculations, it's not how it works. Opensource is where it is now only because of communication and collaboration, the information that everyone can get and involvement of community. Here i only see Idols you make and they don't deliver you anything except advertizing(they just want your money after all). So sorry, but you fool me once shame on you, you fool me twice — shame on me. I don't buy it, instead of talking deliver something.
Maemo community now struggles to keep alive just to keep alive, as we have no support of Nokia anymore, mer, nemo came from here, a lot of people will buy(contribute with money) from this community, and still i don't see how Jolla tries to keep this community alive except some promises of "cool" phone.
It's sad
nothing personal, here, just...
Jolla IS NOKIA
not the *****ic NOKIA from post hara-kiri dead platform memo (Oct 2010) but a new NOKIA, the NOKIA that Flop decided to get ride of to eliminate as much internal competition to the m$ crap as possible.
and he failed. Jolla is alive & kicking.
and it is probably only a matter of time 'til Flop gets quicked out of NOKIA (he wasn't even presenting the L925...) and NOKIA buys up Jolla.

about the "no support to this community by Jolla"...
end of last year there were contacts between Council (Board?) and Jolla, but apparently the contact got sabotaged; if memory serves well by some Council / Board members.

see ivgalvez's post

as the saying goes... Totgesagte leben länger
