First, thanks for Jolla picking up and continuing N9 heritage! N9 was and still is great phone, but obviously it has not future. Jolla seem to be something like rough diamond right now - it needs some cutting and lot's of polishing, but it looks promising. Wish Jolla success so they can keep improving it.

My first experience with Sailfish was rather confusing but after a couple of days I'm growing into it. This is power user's phone and has few friendly buttons giving hints what to do next. I'm ok with that, but I expect lot of negative reviews because the initial impression counts a lot and not many reviewers are happy to speend week or even days before rushing to write their review.

Some comments to Jolla, if you are reading this
  • Please increase contrast (or less transparency) between text and background picture. My eyes are not that good anymore and for example reading email summaries or settings can be hard depending on the ambient light.
  • Integrate calendar (current day) to notifications screen.
  • There are plenty of inconsistencies in UI - sometimes I need to press something, sometimes need to use pulley menu. For example answering call vs ending the call. Or editing existing alarm requires long press which is not so obvious.
  • Double tap on sleep screen should show also battery and network status - now one needs to scroll a little bit for no obvious reason as there is plenty of screen estate left. Put some calendar information there as well.. Generally, if there is unused screen estate, use it for something intelligently.
  • "Deleting in 5 seconds.." can be rather annoying - is there a way to speed up the process?
  • Blinking LED's need to go
I raised the fact that 3g and battery needs to be on the lock screen, it can go to the right of the clock. Sent it to Jolla care, it's madness that you can't check battery status on the lock screen without having to scroll.

The delete in 5 seconds is great, you get used to it. It does not stop you doing other things or deleting other things as you can have several countdowns going at once. IMHO must better that a "are you sure" dialog.

The UI becomes 2nd nature in time and does make sense ...mostly.

"I like blinking I does"
