I have no complaints on the hardware, given the price. I was very disappointed by the lack of NFC though and the price for a replacement screen, the latter is of course a volume thing, the more sold the cheaper replacement parts will be.
The fact that Jolla would not do repairs outside of Finland for a while was very poor.

Jolla is not the only one having expensive replacement screens. In the past I was in position where I was handling all phone related issues in company. We were using mostly Lumia's but also some Android stuff. There were cases where phones were dropped and screens were broken. Asked for replacement, and it cost more than buying a new phone, so those never got repaired. Basically, if warranty or insurance doesn't cover it, throw it away and buy a new one if you are not prepared to repair it by yourself using some cheap replacement parts from eBay...

And sure, not doing repairs outside of Finland can be a bummer. But even big companies do it that way. My mum had a Nokia Lumia 820 1,5 years ago. Screen broke without doing anything to make it break and she had to send it for 200 euros to some Nokia Repair Facility in Finland.

Actually I would be really surprised if it was even possible to tune the output power so precisely that it would reliably read the TOH tag and at the same time be incapable of reading an external tag.
(NFC's designed to be able to read multiple tags in the vicinity simultaneously, BTW)

S*itPhone 6+ bends and breaks in your pocket...
Am I hearing someone to be still complaining about Jollas build quality?
Nokia N80 -> Nokia N900 -> Nokia N9 -> Jolla Phone & Jolla Tablet -> Sony Xperia XA2 (SFOS)
