This pissing match over the specs is all beside the point, because what's really important is how the OS and apps perform on those specs, which really no one here really knows. The problem comparing to other phones is no one runs the Jolla OS right now. Even comparing it to Maemo phones is a stretch, because it isn't the same thing.

I know there is always the desire for more power, more battery life, and higher rez screens, but that has to be balanced with price. Jolla needs a phone that performs well enough to show off what their OS can do, balanced with a price people are willing to pay for it. We'll see if they have struck that balance.
