Jolla Phone matters more than ever.
Every Android phone, every iPhone; your data, habits, convos: processed, analyzed, stored on someone else's terms.
Jolla spent 12 years in wilderness keeping Sailfish OS alive through die-hard community.
Next to them mobile OS graveyard filled up with names like Symbian, MeeGo, Firefox OS, Windows Phone - Jolla survived.
• Physical privacy switch (kill cam/mic)
• Replaceable battery
• Android app compatibility (practical)

@Linux@linuxrocks.online I want one SO MUCH! Alas, I am in the USA, and that I'd not in their market range. Yet.

What's also important: all earlier co-op and funding from AuroraOS many years back (of Russia) has been cut off by Jolla. Sailfish OS is NOT 100% closed source, as some still claim it to be. Jolla has also promised that the REMAINING blobs will be opened. There are good reasons for this situation. 95% of Sailfish OS bases on free / open source software. The OS itself utilize Linux kernel (which is open source). Mer that was used is open-source. Qt Framework API's base on open-source Qt API's.
