In fact, I'd love to see Jolla running on all sorts of devices, particularly non-phone portable hardware. I've come to the opinion that cell-hardware is poison -- it ties you to the cell manufacturer, to the phone service provider, and potentially to all sorts of governmental or non-governmental bodies who want to tap in to and follow your device.So far as I can tell, the only reason why there is such a dearth of homebuilt portable devices these days is that you just can't create your own cell phone and get away with it. I would love to see a world where the phone and the PDA become split apart again, where computing devices can advance again without being beholden to the phone companies, and phones can go back to not containing all your personal information...

I can say it a million times if needed, it's a small size phone for me, or nothing. 4' - 4,2' at most, or nothing. And studied ergonomics, slip-free form and materials (my number 1 issue with the phone). I already own laptops, and tablets and a bunch of stuff, i want a phone i can handle with easy in my everyday, like i used to.
It's Jolla, unlike the others... or Jolla, like all the others.

That makes for grim reading - basically Jolla are making no money, have no money in the bank, and don't show any immediate prospects of turning things around.

If you want a less slippery back, get something like TOHLED from Funky Other Half. For me that upped the 'wow' factor *and* added a non-slippery back

Or get a back that is not only non-slippery but functional, like TOH-OLED, or TOH-IR, or TOH-arduino, fixing slipperiness is just a bonus

Hope the specs will be at least as of Nexus 5 2013 w 2GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, no need for SDXC, but definitely a full HD 5' display& LTE. A bit more rounded "edges" and non slippery oleophobic coating. The lesser quality of the J1 had me buy the Nexus 5 32GB. I can live w/o the Dalvik if it is not open source. No need for kb, with the Waytools Textblade around.
