i have to say thar i dont like ios so much,is fluid and simple,but for me isnt intuitive..maybe i am strange. sure is better than android in this way,but i have found Windows phone more easier to use..after sailfish
quite OT: on tmo most of all say that n9 is still better than jolla as usability...this may be for nostalgic reasons and habits, so i would like to try the opposite path . i use sailfish everyday but i have never tried n9 yet...theres a way to install it on n5? dont wanna buy n9

how you guys convinced your wife to jolla? usually,but not mandatory, girls are less interested in tech and dont care about open source or oses
Then the Samsung broke down out of warranty and she had no choice but trying the Jolla as a replacement.
Luckily the Sailfish OS at the time was mature enough.
Among the checklist of absolute basic requirements:
Skype
SIP
Both can work but need Android solutions. Used CSIPSimple for SIP.
Shame it was not included by Jolla.
I discovered Jockr for Flickr, nice native program!
Some VPN connection with office exchange server I chose not to install.
Gave here a Lastu leather + birch wood case which I found not so convenient and after a week she loved the phone with this combo and she dropped it hard (a habbit she has with new things) on the aluminum corners but it survived
Only negative comment I have received is that sometimes the call doesn't get through but I guess it is a problem with 4G. Also SMS sometimes don't get delivered , most likely due to same reason.
Conclusion, Sailfish is not hard to use, but as you say, most women have other interests.

SFOS and Jolla hardware is not ready for this level of adoption yet. Once you see how quickly everything moves on iOS, they simply will not put up with Jolla. We are on the new platform because we understand the long term consequences of living in the world where only choice is Android or iOS, and it'll likely be just us until we've worked the quality of the experience up to feel at least near-equal to iOS.

(and mine as well, SOS my 2nd) My dad is a 'dumb' smartphone user but he loves SOS on his Jolla Phone.My grandma is a 'dumb' smartphone user as well but she uses Windows Phone, just like my grandpa (but he is a tech guy though).
And yes, I'm telling in the truth, this is not a made-up story.

i was simply joking! however can claim that they are, if i compare them to mine.
my mum who use an android samsung phone (we,facking bastards) makes unvuluntary calls and send void sms; everytime i have to rexplain how to use it. my dad uses an s5; i am gonna tell u only that he fighted with his device just to deactivate senior mode with giant buttons and less options/apps, that my brother had previously activsted in order to prevent damages. ahahaha

- No multitasking
- Unintuitive design (I am complaining about SailfishOS 2.0, but that's nothing compared to UT's side and bottom swipes).
- Alarm doesn't go off when the phone is turned off.
- The focus on Web apps and its effect on the native app situation.
- Last time I heard, it was nowhere near the functionality completion or optimization of SailfishOS.
- After the Ubuntu Edge con and the issue with Ubuntu (Desktop) automatically sending your searches to Amazon for search suggestions, I wouldn't rely on it for my data/privacy.
- Forking of the Trojita email client because they can't be bothered to work with upstream...
- the universally loved Ubuntu CLA

You're absolutely right, no electronics hardware company can possibly sell their hardware at a higher price than the competition and survive.
