I'll try to answer some of your questions that don't appear to have been answered yet.

Default stuff seems to be very concistent.

Huge inconsistency issue with Android apps and with the fact that at the moment the platform is essentially dependent on Android apps.

Browser doens't seem have any privacy settings. Its very bare to bone feature wise anyway.

There is a setting on that allows you to allow or deny location data for apps. No idea whetever it applies also to android apps also.

Currently there's only two edit options: 1. Rotate 2. Crop/change aspect ratio.

Rortating is easy to get back to by re-rerotating back to original state. There appears to be no option to cancel cropping, nor do I see any save options.

By the way, creating theme/ambience from pictures is easy, fast and (at least for me ) addictive.

No font or contrast options. Otherwise yes to your other questions.

Device works fine without OH, altough battery might drop out if your turn it screen side up without an attached OH (haven't tried).

Not sure what your other question means. Attaching OH activates automaticly the theme set for that other half. There's a message sound that plays when you attach an OH to signal that it has been detected. You are free to edit and change the theme settings for the other half. You can also use the ambiences installed by other halfs when that other half is not connected.

The only exception to these I've found so far is the unique ring and message tones in the first wave preorder OH. It overrides the default Jolla ringrones and makes the ring tones unique to it play, even if you set the phone play default Sailfish ringtones. And those sound aren't availeable when that particular OH is not connected (but the 'graphical parts' that OH ambiance are availeable even when it is not connected).
