Revision history [back]

I did not bought a Jolla Phone for 2 key reasons:

1) I just bought a Jiayu G4 Advanced (with to smartphone standards a very good battery life) a few months before. 2) The battery of Jolla Phone is too poor.

Even though my Jiayu phone has a good battery to smartphone standards, in my point of view it is still for from good enough. This is because the phone I had before that was the Nokia 1600 ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_1600 ). Even after using that phone for about 7 years (indeed!), the phone only needed the power cable after 6 days! This feature was also the main reason why I delayed buying my first smartphone as much as possible to the end of 2013, and why I still have that phone as a backup.

The other thing I do not like about my new phone over to this old Nokia phone is its durability: I had a broken USB connector after 5 months, the software is sometimes buggy, and the phone is plagued by ghost touches after you drive by bike in heavy rain (I don't mind the rain and my phone shouldn't either).

I am certain many people would love a durable and correct priced smartphone with a battery life similar to the Nokia 1600.

This is my personal and ordered wish list for a next Jolla phone (if the first 4 items are met, I will buy it if it costs up to 400EUR):

1. Durable hardware
2. Superb battery life similar to non-smartphone Nokia phones
3. Durable software
4. Being able to use 2 SIM cards (good way to save on data charges using a different provider)
5. 2 GB RAM and at least 32GB internal storage space with the possibility to expand storage space with a slot
6. Good screen
7. Slow battery friendly CPU
8. GPS
9. Faster CPU and more storage space
