True but Jolla has stepped in the trap of assuming "average users don't need: ..fill in all features including Nokia users took for granted till 2012...and will be pleased with something square, flat and difficult to hold as long as we call it our design " set by those Androids and iPhones with merciless HW update cycles.

If my Jolla had a camera worthy of comparison to my Pureview 808 , had IR remote, FM radio Tx, HDMI, low power screen saver, a keyboard (optional official i2C other half would be ok) , offline maps & nave for life (cough..) by Nokia then I couldn't care less about the the bezels and the only dual core for years to come.

That's just a big IF, as I do realize it would have been costy and maybe a gamble for Jolla but I know I would have paid the extra 100 world credits easier in early 2013 for a more complete feature list than I would pay the 349 Euro for what it is now.

A more complete insta-classic release phone would have bought Jolla more time in terms of hardware upgrade hunger by its followers. Time they could use to perfect the OS.
