Revision history [back]

Hi - Firstly, thanks for the wonderful product. Have a clarification on the default set of applications installed in the device. As per this news article mentions the below applications are available and I don't see them installed in my mobile (purchased through snapdeal.com)

"At the launch event, the company claimed that the Jolla smartphone will come with very few preloaded apps, though the unit we tried out had popular apps such as Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp, Angry Birds, Zomato, Bollywood Hungama, and ESPN Cricinfo already installed."

I am keen to have them installed. I couldn't find these in store, so presume it must be Android. Just wanted to know confirm that these are Android apps and not native Jolla apps? Also, any one here has tried ESPN Cricinfo? We Indians, are huge cricket fans, so would love to have this to follow score updates.

Update : Yes, Since my initial query on default application got resolved am thinking if we can turn this into useful post and use it for discussions pertaining to India specific news / discussion points.

I strongly believe, the stock product needs to be customized / localized a bit to make it more useful in regions that it is offered. For instance, installing Indian regional fonts (Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada, malayalam, etc) by default would indeed be useful. keyboard layouts could be optional.

Also, at least Jolla could ask Snapdeal to develop a native e-commerce application for Jolla store. It will be a win-win situation for Jolla and Snapdeal?

Also, will be good to approach some top Indian banks (ICICI, SBI, etc) to see if they can host their apps (native or Android) in Jolla store?
