only thing i dont know is why i want a jolla and not something else ? do you
i mean what advantage a intex jolla provides in any frontier.

That's why I say there is no need on other closed OS.If they use linux as base and use FOSS, doesn't mean we can trust them 100%

[OT]I don't know about you but I have to pay for a onnection. Plus, of course, the idea of a mobile navigation is to get you around an unfamiliar terrain, where you are not even guaranteed to have a connection. Or where the connection is bloody expensive, such as when roaming. All of these speak for an offline solution. Things like realtime updates are a nice convenience but they should be optional, not an excuse to force me to go all out online.[/OT]

just another troll from a teenager who probably has no clue about business. It always good whining about no open sourcle blablabla. Why the f... is there no one intrested in working with plasma mobile or Nemo mobile then!?!?!
Instead cry at Jolla not open source. Sorry guys but open source SFOS does not help Jolla in any way. Only Stallman fanatics do think that is the solution!
So i am slowly convincing myself, just a noob of FOSS, that pretending and claiming for Open Source and shouting its philosophy is just an excuse to take everything you want without giving anything back. sorry for my bitter words, but i am too much sincere, i guess

However, I still believe that partly open sourcing, or dual/triple licensing Sailfish OS could be a wise move. Nemo and Mer are a bit far from functional product people use every day so it's no wonder there is limited interest in them even if effort put into them also benefits Sailfish. Mere licensing change won't cut it though, there would need to be an infrastructure and processes to support co-development, accepting patches, documentation etc. And of course there is the hurdle with some parts being kept out of public (in regard to future products, etc). But still, IMO it would be the best way, now that the foundation and UI is more or less solid.

No, i wasnt referring to anyone in particular since i really didnt remember who was and i am not interested to it. it was a general statement. I really dont want to blame anyone, was just a thought
