After some weeks of using the Jolla, and reading complaints about so-called "UI inconsistensies", the main inconsistency I found is with the horizontal swipe:

1. Inside applications, the middle-screen swipe is a scrolling action, and accordingly the left/right screen appears gradually from the screen edge. It feels quite natural (to me);
2. In the lock and tasks screens, the scrolling action to the ambience switcher is initiated with a border-swipe instead of a middle-screen swipe. It's not only inconsistent, it prevents using the border-swipe for peeking as in the other locations.To have peeking work from all screens would simplify the UI, and would give more motivation to improve the peeking action - i'll suggest some ideas in another question.
