The user experience thread is great but it is primarily for people who don't have a Jolla Sailfish to ask questions.

This thread is for owners to spread hints and tips.

For example what apps stores are there to compliment Jolla and the Yanex. Amazon for one but there are more. Please list any you have found.

Also one i would like to know is a way of syncing contacts from the N9. I have an N900 at work so maybe I could use that.... in a convoluted manner.

Recommended apps may be best for a separate thread?

Actually, you may want to maintain a list of categories (organisers, IM, social, etc.) in your OP and list whatever is recommended, especially for those categories where Sailfish hasn't filled the gap yet. That'd be extremely useful for those who want to start quickly with the device.

E.g., I read that whatsapp and line work fine.

2. use the n9 sync app to send contacts to jolla

Syncing contacts from OSX:
Contacts > click on All Contacts > File > Export > Export vCard > Then send the vCard to your paired Jolla device via Bluetooth.

Aptoide is another good alternative app store. http://m.aptoide.com/installer?lang=AR

Sideloading .apk files is easy. Send the file to your device via bluetooth. Don't forget to click on Accept. Next go to System Settings > Transfers > Clicking on your file installs it in a second.

You can also install APKs by first installing OI File Manager (for instance from Yandex.store), and then browsing to the folder that has APK, and then clicking the APK-file.

Amazon store apk-file can be downloaded here:

You would think wouldn't you. Pairs some but none with Facebook entries it seems. Tried removing jolla Facebook account but still no joy, then also tried individual names to little success. I think it has a lot to do with the Facebook integration on the N9 as it won't sync with my Android tablet either.

Seriously? Why store SMS??..?..?...?.

It like storing every receipt you ever got.

Nothing wrong with that. Just a bit odd
