If there were people hardly dedicated to making a device that would be completely unusable as a mobile phone, hardly could they do it better than Jolla. In pursuit for someting extra-cool, original and diverted as far as possible away from intuitive clarity, people's habits an common sense, they invented an interface that is not merely useless - but contra-usable it is!

Well, after two years of torments, after tens of important call that I missed just because being unable to remember how to answer them, I finally got used to making calls and even answering them... But not to terminate them! Today I lost about EUR60 just because I forgot to proceed that compleх procedure of ending the call, and left it active for half an hour... an international call. That's enough for me. That's more than this entire piece of junk worths now. From that minute onwards, never shall I use it for voice calls. Only as a tablet and SMS messenger, however inconvinient it is with its small screen, and mobile-to-WiFi router. I'd better buy a very basic phone with hardware buttons for a fraction of this price, and let my poor pockets to be laden with another mandatory toy for a modern human.

So, how to disable voice completely? As well as Contacts app, whose UI is in no way better than the Phone.
