Those premium features we came to appreciate and that made up for initial and current shortcomings weren't there because Jolla staff did not like them. I think removing those features must be hard for them as well especially if the changes are dictated by external investors that have tested the phone a week or two next to their main Android / iPhone. Most likely a lot would be explained if we could get insight in the viewpoints from Intex India. Why they liked to have an alternative next to Android and on which terms they have negotiated a partnership with Jolla. "Intex Technologies Head, Mobile Business, Sanjay Kalirona told at the Mobile World Congress Shanghai 2015 to Indiatimes: "We plan to launch the first Sailfish device in November. It will be 4G-enabled and will come under the sub-10K price range" " 10K rupee = 133 Euro. I guess that even in India that is not the price level at which people expect "unlike, privacy aware, gesture based fancy OS" Just cheap smartphone with same as Android functionality for slightly less money?
