Here is a less biased review that I found from mainstream media: http://mobile.theverge.com/2013/11/2...nds-on-preview "Yes, it sounds very reminiscent of the Nokia N9, but in practice it's highly unintuitive and unwieldy to the point where the entire UI paradigm can be considered broken. Screen transitions and in-app animations go from left to right, inviting the user to swipe from right to left to go back, but that’s not how you’re supposed to do it. A notification pops down from the top of the screen, but if you try to swipe down to view it, you're liable to unintentionally close your current app, or more annoyingly, lock the entire phone. Then there's the fact that a swipe from the middle of the screen produces a different result than a swipe from the edge. It all adds up to a frustrating learning experience. The user is forced to adapt around the operating system rather than the other way around." "In my time with the Jolla today, I've seen multiple apps crash and refuse to load, the onscreen keyboard also crashed and required a reboot, and there's a general slowness to activating apps that is not competitive with modern smartphone alternatives. That's to be expected from a beta software version, which is where Sailfish OS presently remains. Jolla says that it "wanted to get this as early as possible into customers' hands," and it'll be delivering regular updates to get full functionality rolled out. One of the most glaring omissions from the shipping software is LTE support. The hardware's inside the phone — along with Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC, both of which are functional — but Jolla hasn't been able to get the software support done in time." Hmmmmm.....
