One thing I really like is the "tap home screen to bring up 4 favorite applications".
This action immediately feels intuitive and this is an ideal spot for putting the camera / phone / message application!
Disappointing to notice that from the moment you launch 1 application and keep it running, this functionality is GONE. Pressing the blurred out area (even if it is 80% of display area) next to the minimized applications gets you nowhere.
From there if you like to launch the camera you need to pull up the whole application icon grid and it all turns into a nostalgic iPhone 3 experience.
And yes, in the quick menu the camera is on the bottom and in the full grid the camera is on the top. Inconsistency all over the place.
I get this must have been discussed before.
But I am just amazed about how they ,128 persons minus one, can get it almost right yet not succeed in bringing full consistency throughout the interface.
Or are they deliberately trying not to copy functionality from Maemo, which OS flow they should know inside out? Especially the N900 had "press empty desktop space next to minimized app icons" to return to desktop / favorites icons. And I did not need a manual to figure out its use!
Is there already a together.jolla.com request to fix this?
Edit: ok I found it:
