today i decided to buy a nexus five, I was sober, and it was in the logic that sailfish will be ported to the nexus five, but realistically after a few drinks, I don't think it would bring me the same joy as a Jolla phone would.

Here are my impressions after the first day with the Jolla. The OS is very intuitive and as smooth as butter. Having had an Android device for the last two years, it took me only a couple of minutes to get used to it...
While reading some of the previous posts here, I got the impression the software was half-baked and too "beta" to be released. My feeling so far is rather different -- sure, I've come across a couple of bugs, but they are really not that serious, especially given the workarounds the community has already come up with. I don't mind having to type a couple of commands in the terminal to get something to work... and I'm pretty sure most of those will be ironed out in the coming months.
And, yes, I already managed to drop it a couple of minutes back.
No traces, but what I can notice is that the volume button is a bit loose -- I can hear it even when I shake the phone very gently. Now, I don't know if that was the original state. Others?
All in all, I am very pleased with my purchase. Now I'm eagerly waiting for TOHs to get off the ground -- a QWERTY TOH would make this phone absolutely amazing.

To reply about
Yes, the Video with the tech guy reviewing a phone is running in the Jolla browser >
Since I have no flash installed on the Jolla I suspect it is the HTML5 at work.
The other video plays in the Android application StoryPod but it is perfectly possible and more impressive two real browsers at work next to each otheredit: [url]http://vimeo.com/82504404[/url
Vimeo:
Jolla browser -> warning: tech out of date video may not play properly, continue: yes -> black screen
Firefox browser-> Video plays in some separate browser screen opening, turns to portret as well as landscape (however the virtual Android buttons remain taking part of screen on the right.
Dailymotion
Jolla browser-> plays in full desktop site
Firefox browser-> plays in full desktop site
Youtube:
Jolla browser-> plays in mobile site - don't know how to go to desktop stie

I was also used to have sorted my installed apps in folders (like Navigation folder with all GPS related apps, Games folder with games, Office folder with useful apps for work, Media folder with apps for pictures, videos, music and so on). Now, even with just a few apps installed on my Jolla the icons screen looks quite messy and I can't imagine searching for the right icon on several pages with few dozens of installed applications. So, I'm also hoping to have the possibility of sorting icons to folders as the number of usable apps on store grows.

Happened few times now, that when someone calls me the phone/people app crashes and I can't answer or see who is calling although phone is ringing. Afterwards calling back is impossible without a reboot.
Also the screen started to go to sleep after 5-6 seconds for some reason for a while, this was also fixed by a reboot.
Those are the two bugs that have bugged me the most, otherwise quite smooth sailing and no bigger complaints. The few android apps that I use work great, and the UI starts to feel more natural by the day. Just bring on the UI updates and fixes and I'll be happy for one.

I don't see such an option, even after copying my .vcf files on my Jolla.
- Export all you contacts y vcard, V3.0

- Execute the bash (see at bottom)
- Copy the file generated at ~/Contacts.cvf by blutooth or by scp to your Jolla
- Open the Configuration tool -> start contacts -> import from file
- This worked for me, import all my contacts in few seconds.
- Can be, you can execute this code in the N900
The bash code :
#!/bin/bash
TARGET="$HOME/Contacts.vcf"
rm $TARGET
FILES=`ls -1|grep -e "vcf$"`
SAVEDIFS=$IFS
IFS=`printf "\n\b"`
for FILE in ${FILES}; do
echo "Processing file ${FILE}"
cat ${FILE} >> ${TARGET}
printf "\r\n" >> ${TARGET}
done
IFS=${SAVEDIFS}

I'm using some Koss in-ear earbuds with inbuilt volume controls. Don't remember the exact model, but I bought it maybe 1.5-2 years ago and it cost something between 17,90€ - 21,90€... Probably all the other similar (and newer) models work too if mine does.
