I got my Jolly C while I was on holiday. Now I'm back and while I'm setting it up, I have quite mixed feelings about it. At the moment I'm quite unsure if it is getting my daily driver or just a backup device.

Pros and cons from my view:

Pro:
  • Screen is brighter.
  • Input seems to be much more accurate (text input is so much easier).
  • Vibrator is more responsive - so you can use it for feedback when typing.
  • FM-Radio - But I don't think I need this
  • The form-factor is nicer to grip
  • Ringtone is louder
  • Dual SIM

Cons:
  • Colours are shown not as good as on Jolla1 - more difficult to differentiate
  • I really miss compass and gyroscope
  • The device is quite big - one hand action is not possible anymore (at least for me) and fits not in every pocket.

Well the performance is better on Jolla C but not significantly. The biggest difference is there on heavy multitasking. But I usually don't use more than 4 apps at once. The biggest pro for me is the MUCH better text input. It seems like I have to wait for official fairphone with sailfish.

...But to be honest. I'm not sure if it will come. I don't have the feeling that the aquafish is selling well. And if the guys from fairphone have the same feeling, they will be probably cautious.
