maybe that's my problem. i've been spoiled by the n900. but the lack of backward compatibility with 90% of existing linux applications (which otherwise could be made to run easily) isn't a step forward in my opinion, it's a step back from the n900.

i'm also quite annoyed by their twitter centric / word of mouth way of communicating things. i have to find things out from other people in forum posts.

A few days ago i told someone i was going to buy a jolla as soon as it came out. then i found out almost accidently it doesn't support X (and all that entails), so i've had to tell the person that's no longer the case. i'm going to have to wait a year to see how things pan out. my n900 has survived yet another attempt to find something better. even when that was being provided by the same people that gave me my n900.
