Despite the shortcomings presented in the video, I am still impressed by the OS overall, and the fact that the phone is so affordable really puts it on my list for the next phone tbh 😁

Also, the OS itself looks wonderful

I just gave this a cursory look a while back and re-checked it now... what's free about it? available for their in-house model and some xperia models? and they want money for a licence? found no forks of the thing and their github doesn't have the source, or I suck at searching.

hated the video you posted, beyond terrible with bad production choices, jumping all over the place. once the author allows the scene to last more than 3 seconds, the janky-ness of the UI is apparent.

them jolla dudes need to really opensource this thing so that it runs on the widest possible hardware and get a chance of becoming relevant, as we need mobile OS alternatives; postmarketOS is nowhere close to being usable.
