Jolla arrived 18th of Dec. After a couple of days fiddling with Jolla I find myself really enjoying the OS as well as the device. Jolla seems sturdy and the OS is fluid (way to go Wayland! - let's get rid of the x on the desktop as well!). A noteworthy thing is that after reading this and other forums I sense there is a community emerging.

I had sensation of familiarity. I was able to login to the device with ssh and explore how the OS is organized. While logged in, I did some file transfers with sftp, installed Python (2.7) with pkcon and launched vim (/bin/vi). It was like coming home after being able to use N900 in a more or less similar manner.

For me the only problem was getting calendar sync working with MS Exchange after I read that Google had dropped their support and caldav wasn't implemented yet to SailfishOS.

I got the calendar sync working by switching from Google Calendar to Microsoft's Outlook (which includes email and calendar amongst other services). I hope there will be alternatives for Google and Microsoft in the future.

Once gPodder, CuteSpotify and CuteTube reach Jolla's software market I will get rid of Alien Dalvik. I mean, thanks to community (which I think Jolla is a part of), I have email, calendar, spotify (WIP), rss-feed as well as twitter already.

I hope Jolla manages to find it's niche in the mobile market so that the development of the SailfishOS (with upstream to Mer, Nemo and QT) and the devices will continue.
