Revision history [back]

Hi sailors,

iam using my phone for about a year now and I LOVE IT! But Seeing now Videos of the "almost" final Version of SF 2.0 makes wonder how many steps the jolla Team goes backwards UI-wise. Iam left-handed (like Dillon (??)) and the actual state of the UI is perfect for a user like me. I have no disadvanteges locking or unlocking.

Problem #1: Unlocking 2.0.: Double tab, then slide from RIGHT to LEFT => That is annoying for every left-hander, because you have to Stretch your thumb to get to the right side of the phone (vertical is much better in this Point!)

Sliding from LEFT to RIGHT => No solution for me. I don´t wanna see my Notification Center @first. I want to see my homescreen like everyone else, too ! This could be a Point that prevents me of using my Jolla Phone anymore => Simply makes no fun this way!

Problem #2: Locking the device. Swipe from top, then press button => how aweful is that?? Not only stretching your thumb, no you have to press a button too. This is sooo 2 steps back, even for right-handers.

Problem #3: Using the "live-tiles" (sry for my WP speech xD). Swiping those to left or right was simply awesome !! Now pressing those "tiny itsy bitsy" symbols is 10 times harder, especially when you got 6 or more smaller tiles. Hitting those is purely luck and unintiuitive, because opening the application is also a "pressing" movement.

When i saw SF 2.0 @ the MWC Demos, it was the first time, that i really didn´t like what Jolla created. And iam still sad and worried about this "once pretty cool" OS.

Please don´t bash me to death xD I really like Jolla and Sailfish but i hope there´s still someone, who reads this and discusses this in the dev-team.
