Actually, I think it's just "damned if you do". It's a demonstrably stupid idea to let your community vote on features if you've not got the resources to implement them.
YES! A THOUSAND TIMES YES!
Why on earth would you expect your new phone to have LESS features than the one you had two years previously?
None of which would prevent you from using scalable graphics and hinted layouts. Surely they expected at some point that they'd be moving the OS to a differently sized screen?
Absolutely not. I'm hoping people, Jolla perhaps, learn from this. It's difficult to express frustration without sounding like I'm bashing Jolla here and it's not "for the sake of doing it". They've screwed up. I'm not here to kick them in the stomach like some are.
