I would call HS's article as a short review which was intended to reach wide audience in Finland. MikroBITTI's review was more technical and longer, and intended for people interested in computers and technologies. Anyway HS's article was shorter so it was much easier to translate with my English skills.

It's not the quickest charger either. A 30-minute charge will give roughly just over 10%, which is not great if you've forgotten to charge it overnight and don't have much time in the morning to power it up.
I am almost sure they used the 1A charger and I don't think they are the ones to blame.

That's why I disagree with the decision of not including the charger. Of course it has nothing to do with "saving the environment" - it is just about saving the costs for Jolla, which is fine, but they should admit it and not cover it with any "it's not a bug, it's a feature" nonsense.

I don't think many people have 2A chargers lying around - I don't suspect most people even to know the difference between those chargers. Sure, many people have some 1A chargers lying around (not me - each Raspberry Pi you buy eats one phone charger, when you sell an old device, you sell it with a charger, etc., so chargers are just a commodity which need a constant inflow ), but I think they will be just as happy with the performance, as the reviewer.

Charging a tablet with a phone charger is a pain. I often remember how my HP Touchpad was discharging faster than the phone charger could charge it. I'm glad I still have a 2A charger from those times - I'd be really mad if I didn't.

Not including an appropriate charger is just a shot in the foot by Jolla - reviewers and users will reflect it in their feedback.

@nodevel,
I absolutely agree with you! All I would like to point out is that it is not just the material cost they are saving. It is also - primarily, actually - the cost of certification in all the locales where they want to sell the blighter. So definitely a cost saving exercise, nothing else.

If you like to stick around as a brand for a while there is nothing wrong with spreading Jolla branded quality chargers around!

Missed chance with the Jolla phone: the charger is completely anonymous.

Of course you're right. I would expect more professionality (more tech.) from trustedreviews.com.
