Ok, so the new Jolla Phone arrived today. Will write a nuanced review when I've used it a bit but for now it really seems like the Linux phone I always wanted.
Here is the very brief first impressions score.
Customer & buying experience 2/10
Unboxing 7/10
Hardware quality 8/10
Software experience 9/10
Android compatibility 9/10
If you are ready to tinker a little and can manage on your own, buy it!
