Most of the phones suck. Jolla 1 was great back in the day. From the "current gen" of phones, Xperia 10 III got great eventually (using an unofficial trick), no other recent official phone is daily drivable.

If it wasn't for their last Jolla branded phone being a fucking disaster, I'd be buying this in a heartbeat.

But I'll probably wait for the first reviews instead. Also how they didn't ever deliver a portion of the tablets nor did they refund them doesn't really leave me trusting in preorders.

The OS is great, though. If you can get a Xperia 10 III in a good condition, go for it!
