innovation or weirdness [not a question]

Re: Sailfish, I think the reason it has not been well received is that it's much less intuitive and UI paradigms are much less consistent than Meego which went before it. It's also generally more prone to freeze and stutter.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say here. But there's two fundamental flaws in your statement - or in what I think is your statement:

You assume conumers know the iPhone UX and compare other phones to the iPhone UI. Given the low market share of iOS, it's obvious that this cannot be true. The vast majority of consumers doesn't know how an iPhone really works in day to day use. They may have tried it once or twice, but that's about it.

Also, your timeline starts with the iPhone, which is about 7 years off.

OT: Speaking of Blackberry, have you noticed the home screen of Blackberry Passport? Looks quite familiar :) http://demos.blackberry.com/blackberry-passport/na/ca/gen/how-to/blackberry-passport/blackberry-passport-overview/smartphone-interface/index.html

comparing the similarities and difference of all these platforms in user experience perspective

iphone action bar = yes icons = yes homescreen = no multi desktop = yes hardware navigation = yes [1 button] navigation similarity with other platforms = 80% Gesture driven = 40%

android action bar = yes icons = yes homescreen = yes multiple desktop = yes hardware navigation = yes [3 button] navigation similarity with other platforms = 80% Gesture driven = 30%

windows action bar = yes icons = no[tiles] homescreen = yes multiple desktop = no hardware navigation = yes [3 button] navigation similarity with other platforms = 50% Gesture driven = 40%

blackberry action bar = yes icons = yes homescreen = yes multiple desktop = yes hardware navigation = no navigation similarity with other platforms = 50% Gesture driven = 70%

jolla action bar = no icons = yes homescreen = yes multiple desktop = no hardware navigation = no navigation similarity with other platforms = 50% Gesture driven = 90%

JOLLA IS HARD TO USE, HARD TO NAVIGATE, HARD TO GET THINGS DONE Day 1 its "a wow thing" Day 10 its "not an easy thing" Day 30 its "frustrating"

a simple addition of more similar features from other platforms will do great things for jolla 1.adding action bar in the bottom 2.adding swipe down notification center or something new like nokia fastlane 3.adding folders in home screen or some grouping of icons options 4.adding adding more screens or tabs in desktop

not sure I agree with all that you say, but I do think the lack of a global status bar is both an inconvenience for experienced users and a potential dealbreaker for inexperienced users
