According to uptime I'm now a full week into my Jolla Phone 2 adventure. I absolutely love the phone. Phone calls are crisp and clear, no connectivity issues so far, Bluetooth works with all devices I've tried it with (not many, but VAPPEBY Portable, Sennheiser Momentum M2 AEBT, Shure AONIC 40 and Toyota Touch 2 with Go). Signal works (both natively using Whisperfish available on Storeman or using the Android app through AppSupport). Other than that I've got Bitwarden and Authenticator going, Nextcloud sync, Obsidian, my bank's app, my public transit service's app, my mail service's app and a lot of other stuff. The fingerprint scanner is super fast and unlocks the phone the moment I touch it. It all feels really smooth. I can't seem to organize icons on the app menu, which is something I'd like to do; I'm sure there's a patch or dot file for that, but it should be easily accessible. On the home screen you can see open apps, but the screen preview/thumbnails are often missing so I have to guess what apps they are. I hope that is also fixed in an upcoming release. When it comes to photo quality it is quite good in daylight, but in low light settings it's terrible. I'll get around to posting some samples later. I previously said speaker audio is not good, but it's actually not that bad. I did an informal comparison for myself between the iPhone 14 and the Jolla 2 and I think the iPhone is slightly better—sound feels fuller on the iPhone, while there's a bit of a reverb/accent thing going on with the Jolla. Regarding build quality, I've dropped it twice. Got a beauty dent, but other than that, all good. #Jolla #JollaPhone #SailfishOS #DigitalSovereignty

@kaschmir@social.tchncs.de @Tutanota@mastodon.social So sehr ich Betriebssystemen wie /e/OS oder GrapheneOS Erfolg wünsche, aber je tiefer ich in die Materie einsteige, desto weniger kann ich AOSP-basierte Systeme als de-googled ansehen. (AOSP = Android Open Source Project) Google hat praktisch die volle Kontrolle über das Projekt und kann den Zugang zu dessen Code jederzeit beschränken oder beenden. Wenn der Macht von Big Tech tatsächlich etwas entgegengesetzt werden soll, geht das nicht ohne Projekte wie #sailfishos

I've been testing the new #Jolla phone for a couple of days now. At the same time I'm documenting the experience and I will publish it as an honest review on my blog. So far I should say that it is a very smooth experience. Native app availavility is an issue, but because we xan install Android apps, situation is not bad at all. I installed Signal, WhatsApp, #DeltaChat and they all work very smoothly. Well done @jolla@techhub.social #SailfishOS

@debacle@framapiaf.org Eine #eudiwallet, die nicht auch auf dem europäischen #sailfishos von @jolla@techhub.social (jolla.com, sailfishos.org) aus Finnland läuft, ist keine europäische Lösung und gibt Daten an Dritte ausserhalb der #EU weiter. @Bundesregierung@social.bund.de Schaut doch bei solch wichtigen Projekten zuerst in Europa nach und unterstützt die Plattformen in diesem Rechtsraum @heiseonline@social.heise.de

@eingfoan@infosec.exchange that’s not my point. The question is "why?" Why the OS need a remote account to download source code or pre-compiled binaries? Why @jolla@techhub.social force the users to have an account? I understand it can be useful to use an account to store app list, configuration files &c. I don’t understand why it’s mandatory in #sailfishOS

@me@joshuastrobl.social A nice review, thanks! Can't wait to get mine. The camera situation is a pity, but is has always been subpar on #SailfishOS phones unfortunately. I really hoped the camera quirks were gone in the #Jolla2... But we'll see, maybe they'll be able to fix it someday.

The native #SailfishOS app selection is nowhere near that of Google or Apple, but is generally good enough for normal productivity and multimedia apps. Many apps have just one developer with limited resources.The quality of apps varies a lot and most of them are quite simple. 16/30

If a native #SailfishOS app is not available, you can sometimes just use an equivalent web service with the built-in web browser. The large screen of the new #Jolla phone helps here. 18/30
