I think his point is more on the developmental aspects of the device instead of bla bla threads like sales, launches etc. Compared to the early days of the n9, I too do feel that the apps and developer interest seems lower. For example name the five most popular apps' threads for the Jolla and you will be hard pressed to do so while for the N9 you could even name 10.

Also his frustration is understandable when coming from a device like the N9 that had many basics covered out of the box or via those relatively quick pr releases whereas even proper native offline navigation is still not covered on the Jolla.

With the launch in India I was thinking of ordering one and getting it shipped via my relatives to Singapore but the massive gaps in the OS and numerous build quality issues have put me off and have decided to keep my S4 as daily driver instead.

This is where I feel Jolla has failed till date; other than the pure GNU/Linux strength it has so many basic flaws that even a fan like me rather waits it out... The mobile world is much more difficult and different now then when the N9 launched so expectations and functions are much higher/different. So to be worse than the n9 in basics is certainly not encouraging.

Anyway that's enough off-topic from an outsider looking in...
