I've only had it since Tuesday so this is based on rather short time with it.

Lets start with noting that I'm glad that I bought it. One finnish reviewer called it rough & uncut diamond, and I think that is pretty good way of describing it. I think that most people on this forum, who have Maemo/Meego background, would like it as well.

But I don’t think that it’s really yet ready for the wider consumer market. Still too many things that would brake the experience for the (in)famous average consumer. For example, the browser was pretty much on alpha-stage before the latest update. Now its something like semi-usable beta software. The Yandex store app is also very buggy. I still cant get it to work and I know that there are many users with same problem. It would cause lots of trouble to people with no knowledge of how to get apps elsewhere. The Jolla appstore has way too few items for the mass market consumer. I’ve also noticed frustrated questions from users on finnish forums about pretty basic functionality that they just can’t figure out, like how to set an alarm (clock app -> upper menu -> set new alarm).

My personal main gripes are the browser, the way that Android apps ‘break’ the Sailfish UI, lack of LTE, camera and lack of landscape. Most of the great multitasking UI & functionality is wasted at the moment because of having to use Android apps. For example, swiping to close an Android app will close all Android apps. Annoying as hell since I just got used to swiping. Closing Firefox kills my Spotify stream as well. So now I’ve to somehow remember which apps to swipe and which not.

The positives do however definitely weigh more than negatives in my case. But I think it turns out to be a good thing that Jolla has only one retail partner in one small market. They get time to even out the kinks and hopefully it will be ready for wider audiences when/if they get more distribution deals.
