Some thoughts Sailfish 3. Excerpts taken from the website (https://jolla.com/sailfish3/):

Sailfish 3 Updates

30% faster performance => that's true

Camera => new API may be, no difference to Sailfish 2

Full Cloud integration => can't find this Access to web folders => how/where to find Automatic photo syncing => missing Notes => can't find anything new

Sailfish for Corporate Mobile Device Management (MDM) => ? Encrypted user data and communications Integrated VPN Redesigned Email and Calendar => not for all users?

VoLTE support => really? Where can I see this?

Full support for landscape UI => I expected this system wide, but can't see this...   Redesigned Top Menu with settings and actions => yes, that looks nice

Sticky App Grid => that means?

Summary: I expected some things I really loved to see and ended up disappointed. I planned to switch to Sailfish OS soon for my daily device, bought a Xperia XA2, but now it seems I won't use that device cause there are so much missing but promised features and even the upcoming Software will still have gaps like missing NFC, Radio, Fingerprint and buggy Bluetooth. I was hoping for some improvemens in eMail, Calendar, Contacts, but nothing. No RCS capabilities. LTE connectivity (Jolla C) is bad as before, where other device (Lumia 950, Xperia XA2) connect best.
