Anyone who has listened to playback has been very very impressed. Best thing is that thereis more to come, my tunes are in mp3 format from google music, starting to convert my CDs and Vinyl collection using Flac this weekend.
Some of the native apps are fantastic, Mitäkuulu, Tweetian, Friends, Sailbox spring to mind immediately as being Tier 1 level, upnpplayer picked up my LG tv and media collection on my Win 8.1 box without any issue.
I have all the available other halves, Snow white, First one, Black and Aloe with Poppy Red on the way, have had no issues with them being recognised or problems with fit. Does mean that I expect to have a full Ambience selection screen in about 3 or 4 months.
Mapping is accurate and reasonably fast, disappointed that I do we do not yet have live directions. I would pay an extra license fee for this functionality.
With regards Android apps, I am trying to keep away from them, only 2 I have so far are Viber and Skype and both are functional.
So to sum up, i'm impressed with the development progress, the UI has won me over completely and i'm looking forward to more native apps and development of Sailfish.
+1
Pretty much exactly my use and thoughts on Jolla so far. I will just extend on how I have been enjoying the music quality and music player. I have been using my Beyerdynamic, Denon in-ears and all of them has sounded like I would expect them to. My Lumia 920, N9, Z10 all did not manage to do that.

I also have to say that the battery life is very impressive. Before the updates it was the worse battery life I have seen in a phone and now it is the best I have had alongside iPhone 5.
I totally get why some are not installing Android apps, but for me how the apps looked and ran was the first positive surprises on the OS/phone and they have only improved this aspect.

Clear negatives for me are the browser that imo simply needs total overhaul. Connection handling has improved, but switching around WiFI, 3G is still a bit weird and connection errors do appear time to time. Stll waiting for that LTE support.
