And you know 100% that they've not been contacting major app developers to get them to port their apps?

In this case it is. Whatsapp don't like 3rd party apps so it's absolutely in their domain, not Jolla or anyone else.

From my point of view I'm totally happy there's no Whatsapp as I really don't think proprietary IM clients are a good thing. I can't see how you can be clamouring for open source on one hand and a closed protocol owned by Facebook on the other. Calling Jolla hypocritical sounds very hollow.

Blatantly untrue. They use huge amounts of open source and push it upstream. If you mean 100% open source then you have a point, but a totally unreasonable one. Nobody does 100% open source and Jolla aren't claiming 100%.

Does that mean they aren't asking Myriad to fix? I suspect they have regular discussions with them.

Never had a problem so I've no idea what you mean.

Agreed there though I did get a spare battery. ;-)

P.S. I liked how they talk about importance of transparency and how tablet will be made together in their latest blog post and still no answer to https://together.jolla.com/question/...pen-source-os/
I call it cheap PR and hypocrisy
The phrase 'and I want a pony' comes to mind. Sorry but not everything works the way you demand it to be.
