After a couple of weeks of using the Jolla as my main phone, here are some new observations.
In the beginning I thought there were only minor glitches, but this is apparently not the case, at least from my experience. I see some people here have been struggling with WiFi in different flavors. Same here. Depending on the security settings of the hot spot at hand, the WiFi connection breaks randomly, and sometimes even a restart is required to get it to work again. I don't know if I'm the only one (or the first one ), bur I've experienced similar problems with Internet over 3G. From time to time, the phone was ending up in a loop of activating and deactivating data, where only a reboot would help. All this has been happening very often -- multiple times a day, to say the least. I really hope this gets fixed soon, because such basic features should work flawlessly. This should definitely be Jolla's top priority for the next update.
If we put the bugs aside, the phone is what I was hoping it would be. Some people here might disagree, but I dare say Alien Dalvik is one of its coolest features. It's so nice we don't have to trade the awesome UI, proper multitasking and full "linuxness" for the lack of undoubtedly useful, ubiquitous and mature Android apps. I didn't believe they could make it this good from day one, it really kicks a55 and will definitely help Jolla sell this thingy to the masses. Now I'm pretty sure they'll find their niche and survive on the market -- no doubt they deserve it.
P. S. I'm already so used to the Jolla's gestures that I'm constantly trying them out on other touch screens around.

And whatever you the USA based OEM had (tinfoil mode) planned, it could be wiped anyway easily.

Makes no difference where the HQ of the OEM is located. Manufacturing will be done in a country even more of a police state than USA (China).

Basically what Im saying: Memcard design location is the least of your problems if your you're worried about NSA. We're all screwed anyway. There's nothing that you can do to stop the American empire, if it takes an interest in you. So, just buy the cheapest memory card.

Erlier in this thread, att said :
In Terminal app run commands:
cd
ln -s /run/user/100000/media/sdcard .
(Notice the dot at the end of ln) After that you can access the microSD card with USB MTP (Jolla's normal PC connectivity) by going to directory "sdcard".
