I don't like such behavior (it's actually irritating). IMHO controls should appear only when you need them, not when you scroll around the page... I.e. there should be some difference between simple scrolling, and pulling up controls. Otherwise it reminds me some annoying popups from the before Firefox times. At the very least, they should provide a configurable option how to bring up controls UI.

It feels kinda natural when you have used it for a while.

You cannot compare that. The one on N9 is months old. Also the UI components are different. And it has switched to wayland and Qt5.

Finally a video. Great one too. The os looks as cool as always. The browser is too slow. But it's a beta phone with slow spec so I don't expect speed at all.

Let's hope for more videos soon.

Yes, it's supposed to be.

I think that decision is based on assumption that you read the page one time and always linearly (from the top down). So scrolling up means that you finished reading the page and want to do something else (thus controls would make sense). While this can be true in some cases, it's not always true. I can open long pages and scroll back and forth (and during that, controls would only stand in the way). So why can't pulling controls be triggered by some other action?

pullymenus with icons maybe...

It won't be easy for jolla in us.

Nexus 5 - $349
Jolla 1- 399 Euro

Nexus is just as open an will be available before jolla. It's easy to see why jolla mainly targeting Finland...

Edit: Google removed nexus 5 from play store again... Rookies...mistake or sales pitch. Either way it's lame by Google.
