Hi, didn't you create the same thread yesterday?
Oh my bad we discussed in a the cancelled jolla thread.
I say wait for next jolla phone, ubuntu phone or tizen phone. Buy a cheap phone(n9 maybe) until then. Unless you know what you want and its a beta phone with bugs and issues but with a new OS. Then go jPhone l.
If you aren't a total rookie you can always try out sailfish on you n9. (but don't do it if you don't know what you are doing. it can brake your device)

If I will wait will be for Jolla. Need I or going for N9 or BB10 make sense?
I'm a rookie so will not be able to try Sailfish on N9.

- Calendar: use for appointments and daily tasks. need to be possible to create both tasks and appointments in the same day, and to display it in "home" such as in mine E61i
- Notes: I use a lot for business notes or in general as a notepad. need to be able to order the whole note list by creation date.
- VoIP such as Skype, Rebtel, GTalk and also a generic SIP client. Whatsapp nice to have, not mandatory.
- Offline turn by turn navigation
- Battery that last 1 day of heavy usage or 2-3 of normal one
- Not really interested to multimedia capabilities
- morning alarm that work also with off device
- email working with IMAP/POP3/Exchange. Not interested to sync calendars
- not interested to social apps
- in many ways replicate the nice business features of E61i (such as number extraction from SMS), that was slow and not so easy to use but does integrate almost all the tricks needed for a business usage

Then Galaxy note lll is you weapon of choice, Man! It's exxellent for notes. The best! If you can't afford it go galaxy note ll or nexus 5.
The only think you it can't do is ringing with device off. But you can select to boot device, let it wake you up and turn of device. But thats not the same thing
plus its needs some tweaking.

What does your gut say?
If you can't decide get a iPhone/Nexus 5.

Your needs surpass the present day Jolla phone unless you use Android apps to fill the gap.

But my fear become true: yesterday I broke my Nokia, E61i so now I need to find a substitute.
No one know how much time is needed before the Jolla online shop will be open? In the meantime I can resume a old Nokia that lie in the dust since some time.
Immediate alternative can be only for me find a old N9 or go for a BB10.
I tested a BB10 after launch and didn't convinced me, but maybe the new version it's better.
