Jolla Feature Phone

There are loads of situations, were a simple handset would well serve the cause, yet there is no real product which

  • is not a smartphone
  • is decently manufactured
  • offers extended battery lifetime
  • looks good and has a sensible form-factor
  • has a well thought user interface
  • is available at a competitive price
  • is free of superfluos hardware/features

Wouldn't it be good to have a good quality feature phone with Sailfish underneath the hood, serving but the simplest of purposes, i.e. phone calls an short messaging?

I repeatedly questioned myself why there are exclusively manufacturers who either produce low-quality third world throw-away handsets - or over-rugged pseudo-outdoor stuff not reliably usable if you're 5 days away from the next wall plug.

Personally, I see quite some demand for a good product in this area, and I believe Jolla could fill the gap. I'd be quite interested to hear your thoughts regarding this issue.

Thank you in advance.
