Also, good luck explaining you're supposed to pull down or up to answer or ignore a call instead of simply pressing a button, but to end a call you do have to press a button. I don't mind this way of doing things, but it sure isn't something everyone will find logical. Is there a patch to show buttons instead?
well, but for answering at least there's a hint of green and red on the screen and since pulling is the way how it's done on other phones it's somehow obvious. But the dialer...... I'm the person who mostly talk with the same people and I was actually always used call log instead of phonebook. But this is annoying even to me. And call log as such is beyond basic anyway.

@HtheB Well, there's a "patch" for everything that is missing and that is wrong with Jolla. Xperia X with Android is "the patch" for many of those things. But that's not what we want.
There aren't that many sailfish users out there, and if majority of them use the same patches that should tell something. At least tho those who are willing to listen.
