A small experience write-up on my first day with the Jolla (coming from n900 comparing to it):

+ gorgeous display and vivid colours
+ fast program starts
+ phone quality
+ swipes

- UI (in-)consistence. Sometimes swipes to the left to confirm an action don't work [eg. create a new email account], instead I have to press the "save" in the upper right corner.
- phone call from a new/unsaved phone number. Saving it directly to phone book (people) will automatically use that number for "Home", can't be changed to "Mobile" but has to be done (typing) manually.
No idea what that "link" does?
- (might have not found it yet) lack of copy & paste
- the email app from the Jolla Shop automatically loads pictures for html mails, no options to disable this behavior (found).
- double tapping the screen to work with the Jolla always ends up on the start screen. I'd prefer to see the last screen I was working with.
- I'm with those that want to see connections/battery percentage on the first screen, no need to pul the info up from the bottom for that.
- android apps (only tried to install XPosed Framework with XPrivacy and Whatsapp) won't work. see

- maybe rather an android problem than Jolla's but I don't like to register my phone to several sites to download apps!
- the browser is not very useable to me with its UI, also where are the files I've downloaded going to? Right now I have to use "Documents App" from Jolla Store to access them. No Idea how to delete those from system though.
Landscape modus seems mandatory to me (personal preference).
Also search engines are limited to Google, Bing and Yahoo.
- battery usage is around ~7%/hour without doing anything except email check every 30 minutes automatically. No other services running in background. Looking at the screen 3x within 60 minutes for 30 seconds incl. swiping around. That's a little bit much battery drain.
- with a missed call/new email on the 1st/main screen I can't simply tap it to go open up that missed one. Have to swipe to the app and open it to see details.
- no general security options for the Sailfish OS/Alien Davik present.
- speaker should be louder for telephone calls and mobile on the ear.

At this point I'm better with my n900, though it's way slower and misses the great screen. ...and I'm with those people saying that I was not aware of a beta OS to be handed. I give Jolla credit for what they've done since the SoC change but it doesn't cut the mustard for me yet.
