It's great news - but it seems to me that there is still a big gap between the working functionality of the OS we have today and one that is "commercially ready" and "a truly viable option for all smartphone users"

I'll be ecstatic if they've fixed everything, but sadly I'm sceptical.

That said the builds we got seemed quite far behind what Jolla themselves were using, The first time that we seen the wireless hack by Jolla themselves in the pictures their Jolla phone already had 4G support.

The builds they were could have been months ahead to what public got.

First I must say that I am glad for Jolla and their progress.
But as I see it, there is not much for us who bought jollaphone.
Angry birds TOH, and cloud support are not big deal...
Where is the hardware keyboard? Where are the other useful TOH which are made from Jolla. And 30€ for black plastic is just to much.
In some way I feel like I threw my money. I could buy Nexus 4 and have great hardware, two OS and still save 150€.
Don't get me wrong, I love my Jolla but I have this feeling that I could do better with my money.

My guess is they never did and never will. Their first and unique goal is Sailfish OS. Manufacturers and brands could switch from Android to Sailfish, but they must see an actual device running it and having relative success. Jolla phone is that device.

If that goal is achieved and some important brands move to Sailfish, I guess no more Jollas will be launched.

That could also explain mine concerns.

seem to be the same ones from previous MWC.
I know I will be stereotyping
But I don't quite get the use of attractive girls like that. Geeks/men into tech are less likely to approach them to ask question than just admire them from afar.

I could be wrong

This is not a consumer fair, it's a business fair. And business men can handle pretty girls

Of course, it depends on which devices are supported but still......
Or is this just initial move to spread sailfish but it won't be practice later? But in that case a lot of people will be dissapointed later and they will switch back, especially if Jolla HW will still be subpar. After all, ridiculous HW specs are what made samsung what it is, touchwiz for sure didn't.
AFAIK the longer plan has been push sailfish to big manufactors. A small company like jolla has no damn chance compete with big players on HW since big players has the cash. Jolla has not. Same for canonical.

The fight now is between Jolla and Canonical. Question is can any of them convince big players they'r OS is the one to license...

Right now it seems more knows about canonical than Jolla related to MWC atleast. I hope Jolla can change that coming days....
