Multiple questions for a potential new user/developer

Hello,

Before switching to Jolla, I have some questions about it:

  • I saw on a video presenting the jolla phone, that you need to accept the "terms of use" when booting the phone for the first time, is there a copy of these "terms of use" somewhere online that I can read before buying the phone ?
  • Is it mandatory to open an account on the Jolla phone just like ios or android (if accessing the store) ?
  • I'm a game developper, so I need to know if I can code in C (not C++) using OpenGL ES ? (I don't make applications so I don't want Qt)
  • What sound API is available ? (OpenAL ? OpenSL ES ?)
  • Are there source code example for OpenGL ES in the SDK ?
  • Is Sailfish OS sending anonymous or personal data over the internet without me knowing ? (like android) if yes, what type of data, and can it be turned off ?
  • Is there a packet sniffer utility ? (so I can track what data are sent over the internet)
  • Why don't you offer the possibility to choose "the other half" color when buying Jolla phone ? I don't want a white shell, so I don't understand why I should buy a black one separatly when I won't use the white one.

Thank you :)
