Received mine. Too big (outlook is nice) with poor screen resolution. Mostly disappointed about camera quality.
They should select better hardware (ready to pay more). One good HMD-device with SFOS would be nice (really like this OS and like to move away from Android). Opening device only with securitycode is annoying (fingerpirnt or pattern is better).
Things moving a little bit slow. All Andriod apps I need (and there is not native alternative), are not working (in one case keyboard does not show up to log in; one app needs notifications enabled (even they are); FB Messenger is asking to save login information every time I open it; notifications are not going in etc.).
And cannot start using because cannot connect to Outlook account.
Haven’t seen this mentioned before so I’ll do it. The camera lenses have a serious build quality (or design) issue in that the glass lenses stick out a tiny bit from the plastic rings surrounding them. This means that when laying the phone down it actually rests on the lens surfaces, potentially scratching them. Maybe even more serious it that the edges of the glass lenses are very sharp, I can actually use them as a paint scraper to scrape paint from my desk surface. Hardly ideal. I will probably 3d print something and glue it around the lenses at some point to protect both the lenses and my desk.
If I were you I would glue a plastic ring fitting in size around the lens, because this cannot stay that way in the long run to avoid damaging/scratching surfaces, things in the handbag and the lens itself.
I want to second that. After a few weeks of using the phone, I can confirm that bluetooth is crashing regularly, even in what should be considered low stress situations (only one app running) although I haven’t dug deeper into this.
Would it make sense to open a separate thread for bluetooth on C2? I’ve noticed that there are now separate threads for a couple of C2-specific topics.
Oh and on that note, the clock alarm sounds not working is also a huge issue for me, and there’s already several related threads for that: [1] [2] [3] …

Same here as well, works sporadically but typically does not work immediately after a fresh boot.

It starts working if you force the lock screen once (press power button).

With that power Button of the C2 and the missing fingerprint sensor, double tap to wake up woukd really be of so much help!
Start-Up experience with the pre-set-up device was great, btw.
I notice, that the browser still feels not so smooth when scrolling.

clear command is missing from Fingerterm.
vi-editor doesn’t recognize + option (jump to end when file is opened)
vi seems to be linked to busybox. Is this real meaning?
date command doesn’t recognize -d “-1 day” option any more.
All of these of course in Fingerterm
I printed a lens protector and uploaded it here in case someone would find any use for it: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6854451. Came out not too ugly, certainly better looking than the clumsy plastic case that came with the phone which would of course also solve the issue.

All the following things are not dependent in the terminal app you use: Fingerterm, Toeterm, SSH etc.
clear command is missing from Fingerterm.
Fingerterm clears the screen on Ctrl-l (i.e. a small L), as most terminal apps do.
The clear command is part of ncurses IIRC, which you can install, if you really need it.
vi-editor doesn’t recognize + option (jump to end when file is opened)
This is not a vi option according to the POSIX standard, it is only supported by vim: Either install vim if you really need it, or use 999E in vi after opening the a file (with less than 999 “bigwords”, else use a higher number).
vi seems to be linked to busybox. Is this real meaning?
vi is part of the busybox multi-call binary (as configured and compiled for SailfishOS).
date command doesn’t recognize -d “-1 day” option any more.
IIRC date is also part of the busybox multi-call binary and this option not defined by the POSIX standard.
