Hello, i think Jolla will not go into a business competition to other phone hardware manufacturer. I see the different (and some times conflicting) requirements here in this threat (small mobile, dual sim, hardware keyboard, energy efficient, quad core, ..). So the main problem (for jolla and for the end user) is the stock of the spare parts (i only remember the battaries for the jolla mobile).

The better way would be to bring Sailfish OS to the wide spectrum of existing (or in development process beeing) phone hardware (as they do it in india).

So for example fairphone is a phone hardware developer and they are open for other OSes on there phone. This should also be possible for some cheaper phones with less power (and may be also for other tables).

The basic hardware infrastructor for the phones are most similar. And the module mechanism of the linux kernel allows the develop specific driver for the special characteristic of a phone.

May be a threat (or a wish list) of supported phone hardware will help jolla to decide to whom (phone hardware developer) get in contact.

And a least, if the sales of the Sailfish OS phones is high enought, jolla can take influence during the hardware developement by their parters.

Solar discret energy and Lifi Communication? Device get power from a thin skin over the display. Would delay the battery power off. And provide some communication facilities through light environment.

for me what would be really good is make the smartphone as the most powerful device on your environment. That your phone could be used like your computer too. Means you should only put in a station to connect to display+keyboard and mouse, and then rocks.

Imagine that if the hardware has the best chips for powerful function. And the Software solution give it possible to use the device as good as a computer with it multiple type of application.

Need greatest cpu and other chips. Lots of connections. And software support. And an design integration for big displays like computer usage.

we are far from it, but we could trigger the first step to this. or not?

I think that a very good Jolla 2 could be the Fairphone 2: modular, open and ethical committed. The only thing that are not so good is the price.

I am waiting for my Fairphone 2 nr 6620

I would like the best possible capability for using the device offline to reduce the number of devices I need to carry when hiking. This means maximum amount of RAM and SD and USB Otg capability as well as a proper compass (not just GPS). The camera should be the best possible - see the latest Sony phones, but I see no need for a front camera. The biggest issue which we all ask for is offline maps. My personal requirement is to allow offline use of walking maps. In the UK these are produced by Ordnance Survey and then routable versions are produced from them by Garmin/HERE and other companies. There is no comparable map data available and the Open Mapping is useless. It seems that Ordnance Survey work with the GPS device and software companies directly and it would be nice but highly unlikely that anything could be built specifically for Sailfish, but there are Android and Iphone versions available.
