Staying objective, this is a near-impossible task. I've had the pleasure of using my N9, Z10, and my latest HTC One as my daily driver phones, and let me tell you that the competition is absolutely brutal for both niche markets and the broad consumer market. Brutal. Figuring out which consumers would select Jolla phone over the current flagships, to say nothing of the flagships that will be out late this year, is a true puzzle.

"Jolla is unlike" is a great catch phrase, but it reminds me of the strategic error Elop made with selecting WinPho. He was so focused on differentiation that he neglected delight. Making something different, that's also worse, is no solution at all. You have to make the most delightful product possible. How can Jolla out-delight the competition with lower hardware and substantially less software? A removable back cover? A snappy UI?

We'll have to wait until we see the real Jolla phone to know just how delightful it'll be.
Elop is an payed Microsoft idiot without ideas and visions.

Don't compare idiots with professional engineers who has a true vision. I belive in Jolla because theyr my type. They beleive in changes, exacly like me. They fight, exacly like me, They'r linux geeks like me.

Thats why I beleive in them way more than trolls like Elop opr other big companys wheer ideas has stopped because money has got over theyr heads.
