I personally did not have a MeeGo N900-series phone. But I've heard that people love(d) that phone and its functions.

Because MeeGo and Sailfish are "OS-sisters" it should not be too difficult to port functions or apps from N900. So here are my questions to YOU and maybe requests to Jolla...

  1. What function did the N900 have that isn't implemented in Sailfish yet?
  2. What function do you miss most? ...even if not fully functional in N900 phone.
  3. What connection possibilities do you miss? e.g. sync-tools.

Beside my curiousity my hope is to help Jolla developing faster/easier by forking beloved N900-functions. Therefore we need to know from you N900-users what IS missed. :-)

(State only one function per answer so voting is easier)

N900 run Maemo, not MeeGo, Jolla is SailFishOS, there are many s/w and h/w differences, for example different screen technologies almost dictate different type of apps, etc.

Python, in the default distribution.

IMO, this is a very subjective question and its been already covered in separate threads. I feel, its not like Jolla team doesn't know what needs to be implemented. The constraint is time and limited resources.

SailfishOS is not meego/maemo brother/sister. It contains some legacy meego/maemo mw stuff, but not too much.

@rdmo python is already here for ages

I miss the MicroB browser from the N900 hands down the best mobile browser I've ever used, really miss the cursor. Also the speakers from the N900 as well

not that important, but I miss the geolocation info within the instant messaging presence status, see: https://together.jolla.com/question/14211/option-show-geolocation-within-instant-messaging-status-like-n900/


EDIT: and also the ability to automatically sort apps into folders according to app store categories ("catorise" for N900: https://together.jolla.com/question/47686/option-sort-apps-into-folders-according-to-how-they-are-categorized-in-jollastore/)

Personally, I preferred the organisation of different screen of N9.

Swipe to top or bottom to change current application is not intuitive...

Right/Left is better to use with one hand...

Initially I think it was because I used more time N9 than Jolla, but today, I used more the Jolla than N9, but, always I restart the N9, I say "yes, it was very fluid and intuitive UX experience..."

For me N9 stay the best phone I used...

JOlla is good, especially with Android applications.

But N9 was perfect !!! Lock/Notification screen was very useful when Jolla phone is unusable...

Round screen border was very enjoyable...

Swype keyboard was usefull...

The only thijnk missing was the Hardware keyboard...

My dream phone is a phone like N950 (I never had it...)
