Well after a couple of days of use I got everything working for me to use the Jolla as my main phone. And I have to say: I really like the idea behind the whole interface. Still getting used to the swipe actions. Sometimes my regular swipes start a bit to close to the side of the screen so it becomes a push. But other than that I really like the feeling of the device.

A few things that happened to me (and sometimes I managed to figure out):
- The lag when the connection is switched between moblie data and wifi.
- The android apps that don't start or crash when a lot of apps are open. (seems like a memory thing?)
- Pictures that didn't showed up in my gallery. I had 11000 images on my sdcard, so it took too long to load. After clearing the sd card, it worked fine.
- Music that I transfered with sailbox didn't show up in my player. Even after I copied it to the sd card. Now I transfer my files with filezilla. (ip in the phone under ssh, username: nemo, Pass: set under ssh) this works very nicely. And the music shows up in the player.
- Media that only shows music, is kinda weird. Videos are in the gallery.
- And a couple of things that where there in the promo videos. Videos playing in the smart covers, and the integrated facebook client. Really hope that those things will come in January.
- The android apps that I use (whatsapp, Instagram) work nicely. Able to select images from the gallery to post them.
- The import from Google contacts, makes all mobile numbers into home numbers in my Jolla. Because of this, the contacts are not visible in the android apps like Whatsapp. So look in your jolla contacts check if the imported number is a home number. Then add another phone number to that contacts, select mobile as a number type, and copy the existing number to the mobile number. The contacts will now show up.
- My Other have keeps giving the message that it doesn't work, the rest of the store works great. Only my other half. But now I disabled the nfc due to the battery issues. And created my own ambiances so not an issue anymore, but I really hope that it will work in the future on my device.
- And the lack of control in many parts of the device. (Looking forward to the future updates )

So now I have finally set up my device like I want to. So I guess I really like the hardware, and like the OS but its very very rough around the edges.
