    I am very tempted by a Jolla phone. Years ago I had a Nokia N9, and apparently they’ve done a good job of keeping the platform alive. It does have a yearly subscription for the OS which is a bit strange, but if it means my phone would last 10 years not 5 then I can get behind that

      It’s takes a lot of effort to build from scratch, I’m okay with paying the developers to get the ball rolling. Though my biggest critique of Sailfish is that the ui isn’t Open-Source. Thankfully we have Nemomobile for that.
