Btw Artyom; you missed Theo's point. A device-/OS-specific forum doesnt necessarily have to keep you being blind to appreciating developments outside your preferred ideology/'ecosystem'.
I am here to comment on the success rate of the new Jolla project on the current market. I have nothing against linux (I love it), I have nothing against Jolla (as a newborn company),
Another good saying. But didn't you ever wondered why people move to Apple? You don't get born with Apple in your hand, what makes you switch to another company? Ask yourself this question and then come back here and post what you got!
I was just commenting that a newborn company, that is going to work with a no-name chinese company for hardware isn't going to be a success on the current market. People started looking just for NAMES, because the no-name companies started building bad cheap stuff and customers started running away from them. Let's say there is no Nokia and no Jolla (so no fanboyism when answering this question). What would you buy a SONY device or a Syng-YianMio Electronics device. What would you trust to buy? Knowing that both have the same OS (this is to exclude the OS fanboys) Answer me this, and then you will see my point of vew!
The other one was an invented name, just to show you my point. Why are you going to buy this Jolla, since you have no idea where the hardware is produced? My idea would be that Jolla should join XDA forums and stard to build cutom Jolla for EXISTENT DEVICES first. After people test it, and maybe like it or dislike it, they can have a chance to get a contract with Samsung, maybe HTC, maybe Motorola, or maybe WITH NOKIA again!
What they are doing is VERY BAD MARKETING! Launch a new unknown product, and expect that masses are going to buy them!
Yes, I see somthing wrong. They started this long ago so TIME itself and product quality make their name rise up. For me, if that company have a good history, I was pleased with every device but the last one FAILS me, I loose ALL MY TRUST in that company.
Think of this, jolla is collaborating with a no-name company for the hardware, if that hardware is bad who is going down, the hardware company or the Jolla company?
Microsoft until 2012 NEVER had a device built for their software, Windows collaborated with HTC, SAMSUNG, and SONY ERICSSON. Google still don't have any proprietary device.
So the best marketing is Google's and Microsoft's because: Don't blame our software, blame the hardware, that is bad!
I am, because not Jolla is building the hardware, but a no-name chinese factory. I saw some specs, and after seeing some fake iphones, I lol'd a bit and then I felt sorry for Jolla.
With no ads your product is dead! NOT EVEN HERE on your forum you can't see any ads about Jolla and their website is a complete crap.
And going back to my first statement, won't Jolla be an epic fail of the 2014?
