Yes I went for the more expensive "Jolla" option

My reasoning went -

I need a mobile device to read PDFs more and more at home and at work.

I need the extra screen size from a tablet due to my poor eyesight . I have a N900 that I cant really read unaided. The Jolla phone works well, but is just too small for serious use ie following manuals in pdf.

I was excited about the Ubuntu Tablet, but was very disappointed by the specs.

Then I thought the Jolla Tablet specs were good, why not just buy one.

If and I guess "if" it arrives is teh big one -

If it arrives as an android device, it has a large screen - that will be fine.

If its the right model I can flash it back to Sailfish - that will be excellent

- That does assume there is a Tablet pdf viewer <g>


I get all the fun of buying stuff through crazy chinese sites, think of the happiness if something actually turns up!. Then there is all the work trying to flash it - or not


Thats hours of fun, even before I start using it.

WIN,WIN, WIN


The only real downside is that my partner is going to be REALLY P****** OFF if I get a Jolla tablet. As she also ordered one, and is going to be very jealous
