Is anyone using the first one ambience? My ringtone changed when i switched to it even though it still shows up as the default ringtone in the settings. The ringtone I have now is one of the most joyful songs I've ever heard and I absolutely love it. You all should try it.
From Settings app you can change the default sound tones and ambiences can override those defaults.

I tried Aldiko Android eReader. It installed but I couldn't open any books from UI, even the example book coming with Aldiko. Tapping books only highlighted the cover for a fraction of the second. Long tap activated multiselection.
So I removed Aldiko and installed FBReader for Android. At least it opens ebooks.

- From Android store you used to install it. Select "my apps" or similar and uninstall from there. I have successfully uninstalled apps with Yandex.Store and Amazon appstore.
- From launcher: long press any app and then tap the X on the app you want to uninstall.
- From Terminal app. First locate installation directory and then use rm -r DIR to delete the app directory and its contents. Be careful.

I am worried that this Alien Dalvik layer acts like an Android OS that automatically says "yes, allow" on every request for data access from an Android application.
I hope somebody can throw in a technical explanation to prove the contrary and show us that Sailfish is not a data grabbing playground for Android applications on the loose.
I mean, if I can write a simple Flashligh app that grabs your emails, smses and contacts and sends it to me, would you notice? Could you limit your apps some way, like in Android (especially like PrivacyGuard in Cyanogenmod)?

For all those Mac owners having difficulty in transferring files it may be good to know that a Sailfish Dropbox client has appeared in the Jolla store. It works well but is sadly lacking a thumbnail view of pictures at the moment.
Great to see some Sailfish OS apps arriving through.

As far as I am concerned the phone can be smaller or bigger. There is an advantage to any form factor.
The industrial design shows a typical cost saving form factor built around a screen showing little intrest in matching human anatomy and providing comfortable ergonomics.
For this and of course for the added complementary features I am thinking of adding my slightly rounded 808 to the back of the Jolla as the other half.
@gerbick: for reference my hand measures 21 cm from base of palm to top of ring finger.
