It's a feature phone more than a smartphone [not relevant]
asked 2015-02-21 13:43:39 +0300
Using Jolla phone for a while and noticed some apps are not supported. They didn't exist with Nokia Symbian, MeeGo or Lumia world either. For me all these phones have been missing usability because of so many apps are simple or missing completely. Simple is not always bad though. Sailfish OS is simple to use. So my suggestion is to use Jolla phone in ads ( I just saw) instead of smartphone. I know I'm not alone on this idea. Now that Nokia phones lost support from new owners, there are not many new feature phones here on the market, so why use the name smartphone anymore? It used to set a part more feature rich phones from "feature phones" that many like to use just for phone calls. Now only phones exist. There are some discussions on this at Twitter etc. Thought to comment here instead. (Nearly all new phones have cameras too, so camera phone is not necessary anymore. Phone's camera or just Jolla camera, Lumia camera, android camera..) The SAILFISH phone by Jolla or something along those lines..
I just don't understand your idea/suggestion: "..to use Jolla phone in ads".. Isn't that how it is used? Also, you can call it mobile device, unlike phone, etc.. whatever u want, actually. It has features enough to ve a feature-phone and smart enough to be a smart-phone and different enough to be #unlike SailfishOS mobile device/phone..

sirzero1997 ( 2015-02-21 14:42:06 +0300 )edit"Feature phone"="a phone wirh added features".
Meaning, a phone that can do a few other things than making calls and sending texts. Camera phones fell into this category. Their era came and went in early 2000.
"Smart phone"="a phone with installable applications".
As simple as that. It does not say what applications, as long as they are installable. You can hardly find any phone made after 2010 that did not fall into this category.

juiceme ( 2015-02-21 18:15:10 +0300 )editFor the record, I do not quite follow the OP either. This is what I think it says:
"Jolla cannot be called a 'smartphone' because it lacks some apps that the OP considers important and thus Jolla should stop calling it a 'smartphone' in their ads and start calling it something else."
My comment above was based on that assumption.
