Random rebooting, the blue screen of death, defective new 'security' features, a UI that makes its users puke - you just can't afford to release beta products like that in todays super competitive smartphone market.

Apple are not a software company, they just can't compete with the big boys. They need to dump iOS and adopt a failed third party OS from the most toxic partner they can find before it's too late.

If you're already invested into iOS, Android or even WP, how will Jolla convince those folks to switch? The Android folks might have a good reason due to ACL. But to the non-geeks, how will Jolla convince them?

And I doubt that anybody in this forum could do so without invoking what folks/laymen would call either a "too technical", "too geeky", "too fanyboy" or something else that's "too" something but not overly convincing.

I'd rather err on the side of caution but the last portion I'm talking about could be what Jolla needs to concentrate on the most - right after distribution channels and quality assurance that is.

And no... "for the lulz" or "it just works" aren't quality answers. I'm genuinely curious and can probably match your story about why WP8 with my very own wife's reasons for choosing that platform.
