I use Sailfish on a Sony Xperia XA2, as well as an iPhone and Android phone.
The Sailfish UI far outclasses those other two. It's simple, consistent, and pretty. That's all one can ask for! And it's familiar Linux underneath, with easy access through SSH - no rooting required. This is the phone that everyone else wants, whether they realize it or not...
In comparison, I find iOS annoyingly inconsistent and obtuse. Android is straightforward, but feels like a step backward.
I just wish Jolla had bigger investors, and more developers. It's really a breath of fresh air in the claustrophobic (and increasingly dystopic) mobile landscape...
- sakebomb 5y agoI totally agree with you. It is much easier to use overall. I wish more phone lines would give them a change like Nokia did with the N-series years ago.
- poetaster 5y agoDitto. As an old apple guy i was dumbfounded that ios hadn't picked up anything from meego and on.
- Nition 5y agoThis may have changed in the last few years, but another thing I really liked back when I ran Sailfish, was how even the third-party apps would use the standard UI assets and look/function exactly like native apps. That and the fact that they were usually open source and ad-free. For instance one I liked was "Solar System"[1]. Since no sane person would make a Sailfish app in order to get rich, Sailfish apps weren't trying to make money.
