The OS doesn't currently support many of the community apps most users would consider "required," and the git repos are not showing much activity yet. Keep in mind that you should check compatibility.
- The Captive Portal at my Hyatt hotel does not function. It recognises the DNS captive redirect but never brings it up. At another public wifi, I was able to trick the browser with a Desktop Mode request.
- Apps crash and get into a weird state. Through all the wifi testing, I would find a race condition where only a reboot would clear and allow changing SSID
- Android is way faster and more seamless. Kudos for the out-of-the-box install of both Fdroid and Aurora Store.
- The camera is WAY better than the original Jolla phones, but it could be better. The video recording is unstable, and I have yet to capture it. I will post some images comparing it with my Samsung Fold 6.
- The keyboard was one of the first things I loved about the OS many years ago, but the lack of autocorrect and guessing makes day-to-day usage challenging. I would see if the FUTO team would be interested in porting some of the techs over, as that's a tremendous local-first Android keyboard.
- The lack of a fingerprint reader is TOUGH. The pin entry gets laborious.
- The OS took a few hours to settle. There was some memory issue I couldn't debug, but after a few hours, the phone seemed to finish whatever it was doing and became less stuttering with basic tasks.
- I'm amazed at how far the OS has come in the past 10+ years. It is still as intuitive as I remember the first versions. The pedigree from Meego still makes me smile big, as did the first N800 boot.
I have more to share, but those are my first 24 hours with the phone in SIM-less mode, primarily on wifi.

I finally have my Jolla C2 phone! I can't wait to get home and set it down next to my old Nokia MID and original community Jolla phone. Since it's not for sale in the US, one of my friends brought it to me. I will write up more after playing with it, but here are some potato photos from my hotel room for now. Size compare with my Fold 6
This is my goto karaoke song. Amazing storytelling and music.
I would check out their forms as there's been a number of ports to Sony phones.
My Jolla C2 preorder has shipped. I'm not sure if anyone else has received a notification.
Well, crap. I saw it this morning and planned on getting it. Guess it's over
Honestly, I got nothing. In German, we would say Besteck or Tafelsliber.

I encountered the Game Pudding in the electronics shops that darted the Musaffah strip malls in Abu Dhabi. It was an oddity that started the love of retro handhelds that continues today. It's pretty crazy how far we have come!
Maybe it is just the circles I run, but any Android hacking/opening still carries the "rooting" connotation, even if it's not the fundamental access rooting purely refers to.
Sorry, I should be more precise - this is post "rooting" the giant Android tablet attached to the damn thing.
I wish a lot of the niche communities on Reddit would just migrate already. We are so close, but a few refuse thus far. Otherwise, tech and apps are all there!
Thankfully being put out of its misery
I ended up watching 1883 first and was profoundly interested in the story arc, only to be slowly let down after 1923 and watching Yellowstone proper. Growing up on Westerns, I found it to be a unique modern take on the time period. Unfortunately, the rest didn't live up to the same feeling you mentioned.
I literally the dane think and broke the exact damn part. 5 minutes on ifixit. Swoon 😍
What a saint!
Lenovo x13s Arm setup with Linux is coming along and can hit those runtimes. Will be slower, but good enough for daily work
I agree. The client fills the gaps of the server side recommendations and filters, but the lack of desktop equivalent is why I don't use it full time
How long till they cut off access?
It has been a bit since I did a full rewatch, but fair enough. I will add it to my todo :)
For sure Thomas Shelby
