Revision history [back]

Yesterday I updated my Jolla. I'm pleased to say that I encountered no problems or glitches. Thanks to the Jolla team for the ongoing work!

However, the updated didn't include any improvements I consider paramount in order to use the phone professionally, I really need third-party CalDav (+CardDav if possible) support. PEAP authentication e.g. for Eduroam is still missing (I understand this is only a GUI thing but I'd like to tinker as little as possible). Exchange sync that worked with N900 still doesn't and my car cannot access the address book (PBAP). Without theese, I can only use my Jolla as an expensive (non-smart) phone and I'm having difficulties replacing my old N900 (which is by no means perfect but still covers my daily tasks)

I know all of these problems have been mentioned before but I'd like to reiterate them here for a simple reason: They are all essential when using Jolla as a business device for me. It's fine to appeal to the fanciness-driven customers by nice colors/ambiances etc. but please also keep in mind that some of us care more about day-to-day functionality to get things done (tm) (sorry ;) ) Related to this is also a (probably global) search for appointments, or better sorting possibilites and avanced repeat patterns for the calendar as well as an onscreen-keyboard that can be used for searching everywhere (see my feature request). I would also prefer the different profiles like Bluetooth/WiFi should to be more easily accessible e.g. via the (for me in its current state mostly useless) pulley menu of the lock screen. Most of these features have already been available in my venerable XDA II Pocket PC with Windows CE therefore I'd really like to see them in Jolla.

Not to sound ungrateful, I really appreciate the effort that has been going into this project and I enjoy the phone nonetheless. But please also have an ear for the needs of people like me whom I'd like to give a voice with this thread.
