"warm fuzzy feeling inside"

&

"something tells me this is right"

&

"together aspect"

(few days before christmas I went to DNA shop out of curiosity to take a look at Jolla phone. I wasn't intended to buy it but after only 1-2 minutes of handling the phone, I took my VISA card, and off I went. I have N9 and really liked it. Was more than dissapointed when Nokia quit offering updates etc. to it. I knew Jolla was (and is) in Beta mode but somehow that's essential part of the curiosity: let's see where this goes. I really wanna support you guys and even in Beta mode, this phone works & feels almost perfect. You have taken N9 usability even further, this forum & together - vision is GREAT and I couldn't be happier phone owner)

And now the question, can't hold myself: do we GO LANDSCAPE tomorrow? =)

• A phone built upon a true, "desktoppy" Linux stack. The only one of its kind. I'd pay any price for that and accept any shortcoming or imperfection.
• Independence from Google and Apple, because I think both of their business models are evil.
• No lock-in (so far).
• Promising ideas for the Other Half.
• Something new, fresh and exciting; something morally good so I'm proud being part of it (if only as a consumer)
• A bunch of people so full of passion that I just have to support them. (Well, passion not only... the good looks help, too ;) ...)
• A European company
• A level of community interaction that includes the CTO and other founding members
• The coolest ringtone in my office

• pioneering
• love

• The UI is just unbelievably great (after 50 days experience)
• The work towards even better phone is done Together. I <3 this community spirit.
• Jolla, as a company, has a lot of values I'm supporting
• Google has simply too much power via gathering info of their users (81% of smartphones in the world are currently run by Google's Android)
• Future of OpenSource (currently not enough, but I trust on this)
• People app

For me Jolla is the natural continuation of the Maemo/Meego project. I hope for a better future for it!

• Real Linux allowing real computing via easily accessible cli which has good set of tools
• Qt5, app development is quick
• Community which allows to learn & dev together, Jolla team is interested in getting involved with the community
• UI which I desperately try to use even in my friends non-Jolla phones
• Jolla gives the feeling they're actually listening to people, they're closer to the guy on the streets, they treat you as a person, not just profitable customer
• Hackability (TOH, software)
• Promises for a brighter future in mobile phone field

I could probably come up with more, but these are the main things.

• Jolla is not afraid to innovate! (something which cannot be said of certain other companies...) And they do it in the right way! (Looking at you, Windows 8...)

• Jolla is not Apple, Microsoft or Google! They care more about the community than their profits. Well, I assume they do :)

• Sailfish OS is just the ultimate os for me, it's brilliant and unique. Totally unlike.

• Monthly? updates!

• Finnish!
