Hi. First I would like to compliment the folks that have worked on the jolla phone. They have done a terriffic job.
It is no small undertaking with many challenges and a continual growth process. So, as I've been playing
with the jolla phone for a few weeks now I would like to make a few suggestions that might improve the user
interface (at least for me). Perhaps others could chime in as well in a constructive way.

1)I would replace the swipe gestures (from both sides) that allow you to select ambience with some other functionality.
You could get more out of the phone by instead using such gesture to swipe to a page with integrated contacts, social netork,
media and internet, or some other theme related to office work for example. Perhaps separate buisness from personal or whatever.
Maybe allow the user to design what the page can do.

2)I would combine the screen that you get to when you double tap and the one with the four icons on the bottom. Seems like too much effort to
get to the the same place every time. Btw for both screens the swipes from the edge do the same thing. If you keep both screens you might as well have the same swipe do something different for each screen.

3)It would be nice if you could press the little notification (like the envelope for email) and it would open either that mail or the email app.
Now I have to go thoruogh two screens and then open email and then open that message.

4)When I open an app from the app drawer, there is a transition where you see the grid of running apps and then the app opens. If I open
the app I don't want to see this intermediate stage. I want to go directly to the app I've opened.

Anyways, just a few thoughts for improvements. Again, thanks for everyones efforts and I wish Jolla success.
