Well, you'll have to experience it to properly appreciate it, I think
Have you ever tried the Jolla device, held it in your hand, or are you concerned based on other people's evaluations?

When the device first came out, I have to say I was not so happy with the features, but after 8 cycles of SW updates it is totally different beast now. And still, I hear from people who have heard about it but not used it that "it's the device that has not got even landscape mode in the browser"

There might be something in the build quality issues, it feels the quality of devices can vary a lot; For example my device has had none of those problems many people have complained about, and I am not the only one. There are lots of people here who have no need for funny battery tricks or whatever on their devices.

No flaws here, sir

Well, My N9's been there on the shelf since last November when I got my Jolla. It's still powered on, of course, and hanging off my WLAN so I can ssh into it to do some hacks now and then, but you can hardly call it a mobile device now. It's just another linux box at my home now.
