Differences between Tablet and Phone for SFOS 2.0

That looks terrible. We loose the organic flow from the lock screen to the home screen to the launcher. The unique look of SFOS is slowly fading to be more like Android and iOS with individual screens instead of this beautiful flow:

And locking the screen by pulling down from beyond the top of the screen seems to give some awkward ambiances options instead of locking the screen. Good thing that you can still lock the screen by taping the power button, or is that being removed as well?

I actually like the lock screen more. In fact, it's actually more intuitive to use the same swipe gesture for opening the device from lock screen and going back to home screen from an app since the same gesture returns to the main multitasking screen. I never even locked the device by swiping down from the home screen. Instead I used the close app gesture to lock the device.

@oenone if you have ever used a Nokia N9 (the unofficial predecessor of Jolla Phone) with it's swipe ui, you wouldn't be saying that it will be like android or ios.

Swipe UI is still the king!

@Morpog, yes, I recall the N9 ui and I am not complaining about the swiping, I am complaining about the change from a vertical 'ribbon' (yes, I know that 'ribbon' is used to describe Microsoft's interface in Office but look at it more positively) based work-space to a card-based interface.

Cards are what everyone else is doing. The 'ribbon' was intuitive and organic. That is the loss I am grieving.

@Toxip the "close app gesture" is swiping down (swiping is referred to as gestures from outside the screen, inside moves are called pulls), unlocking the lock-screen should be a pull-gesture without the need to pull an arrow as it looks like in some of the videos. Looks like adding a pullable button to me. Yes I said button again!
