If anybody is surprised by The Verge and Engadget's views on the Jolla phone, I have a bridge I'll sell you as well. They were going to come with a different vantage point mostly due to being iPhone/Android users for the majority of the last 6 years.

That's the same uphill battle that folks that haven't used the N9 and saw the potential and/or change in the Harmattan UI. Now you have Sailfish, with tons of enhancements, some changes are welcome, some are challenging. Some... will probably become second nature in due time - I still double tap all of my phones without thinking.

Change can be challenging. Look at Windows Phone with their Metro look and feel. Only a few folks like it, likely none in this forum. But it's those departures that make for better discussion on how it was done before, how it's being changed and how it'll get better.

Anyway, let's not bicker about the folks that think differently or only see things through tainted lenses. That was invariably going to happen. It's just a criticism in some cases, lesser informed than you'd probably like.

But that's how products can get better. And this discussion shows how varied users even within this community may be. I'm enjoying it, thoroughly.
