Revision history [back]

Me and my collague just needed new phones for our (very small) company. He got a Samsung Galaxy S5 - and I went for the Jolla.

What we wanted is to be able to sync/add tasks, contacts, calendars/appointments via Mobile to our server, so everyone with access can view/add/edit. The server runs on Linux with an ERP, CRM, Quality and Project Managment and Owncloud.

Here is our experience (in short) so far:

Galaxy: Price about 300+ Euro -VPN out of the box (we use pptp - which is the most common). -Contacts can easily be added -Tasks can easily be added (already integrated app called tasks (at least the german version calls itself "aufgaben") -Several calendars (caldav) can easily be added and synced

Jolla: - Price about 200+ Euro , Invoice with VAT available through direct contact (although i wonder why an open source company does not use libreoffice or similar ;) ).

And thats pretty much it, as everything else could simply not be tested due to a lack of VPN. (I know - There is a client available through warehouse - but a) this is a not satisfying solution as a basic feature like that really has to be either a native option or be available through the official app store.) b) this is not working for me either Anyway - i knew things like that when i bought the phone. But still this is the most basic feature anyone with a business mobile will use (the thread to vote is easily to find).

Also I tried: - calendars (carddav) can be easily added - but not deleted (just turned off) - no notifications about upcoming/todays calendar entrys

Not featurewise - but: My collague likes the looks of the Jolla much better than the galaxy. Trying out the galaxy - the OS is really a lot less intuitive than Sailfish.
