Other things that people think are necessary?
I want calendar, contacts, im logs (including sms), mails and all to be syncable with standard (ie, of my choosing) services.

You're all expecting way too much, folks.
What do we know? Well, we know that Jolla have signed a distribution deal with a Chinese retail channel. Also, in the most recent interview, they talk about capturing a part of the Chinese market. It's pretty clear that Jolla are looking at China as their target market, and that has obvious implications. That means there is no chance of a hardware keyboard, certainly not as their launch device. Trying to sell a device with a hardware keyboard in China would be like selling ice to an Eskimo.

This is how the Japanese write long texts on their PCs without the need for a 1800+ kanji keyboard.

The real advantage of the Chinese writing system is that it allows you to write a word without worrying (or even knowing) how to say it...

This is what people are expecting in a phone.
From http://www.phonearena.com/news/Apple...ly-low_id34229
"Additionally, the study found that 19% of smarpthone users bought their device based on price, but the top key factors in determining the satisfaction level with a device banked heavily on performance (33%), followed by physical design (23%), features (22%), and ease of operation (22%)."
