Yep, I've shown mine to people. And they all think it looks nice, but have none have shown any interest in investigating it any further.

And being shown the phone and actually using it are different things. The masses sure as heck won't want to be playing with fingerterm or SSH and manually creating symbolic links to that they can use their SD card. And if they like Android apps they'll be a bit disappointed in the limited Yandex store, but they won't want to be hacking the system to get access to Google Play (and then finding that actually not all Android apps run). They won't like the flaky data connectivity, they won't like the extremely limited camera functionality. I could go on.

Much of this is (eventually) fixable and probably on Jolla's roadmap, and we early adopters are prepared to turn a blind eye to the current shortcomings. The masses won't be so forgiving. And, as I say, by the time they are all fixed (and even with monthly updates I'd suggest that is going to take a while) the hardware - already far from high end - is going to look dated.

That's just my personal opinion, though. I'd be happy to be proved wrong.
