Jolla status report
After the excitement about the new GNU/Linux Sailfish OS phone Jolla and having tinkered around for a couple of days I come to the, – unfortunate, – conclusion, that the phone is not end-user ready (yet).
Although the OS offers an intuitive, fast and clever handling of the functions, many core functions are yet missing.
- No CalDAV/CardDAV syncronisation for Calendar & Addressbook
- No Task manager
- No GnuPG native e-mail program
- Buggy browser
- No OTR support for XMPP/Jabber
- Poor battery life
- No VPN client
Watching the community reports and how desperate many are looking for a well working, nicely developed and secure smartphone, I hope that the Jolla team will come up with an update of the missing features soon.
