There is more to a browser than the engine itself and its toooooooo much work making one (browser). I know the engine is used in other parts of the OS but without a proper browser the phone/OS still remains crippled.
What problems, apart from a dated engine, are you referring to?
Many sites don’t work, ie banks see it as an outdated browser and cant use the webUI. This would solve a big issue for me at least.
Other than that it would be really nice if i could sync bookmarks and passwords etc.

That first part is indeed the main issue - and precisely what the engine update is addressing.
(Strictly speaking only improving, not exactly fixing).
With the browser being open, sync (but to what service?!) is something the community could address.
Are the browser’s ‘frequent oom crashes’ solved by the latest SFOS release?

In most communities the amount of coders is small and they also have to work elsewhere for a living. Even jolla is small and would be nice if they could focus their efforts on the main OS instead of having to maintain apps that are not “strictly” necessary or can be found elsewhere.
There are million things in SFOS that need to be fixed and everything that can be “outsourced” should be taken off jollas hands. IMO at least.

Had experienced a non-unlockable bootloader and failed the installation. To me official preinstallation and branding is the definitive factor, the hardware spec of C2 isn’t impressive after all. Somehow I think experience on C2 would be better optimised and more stable, maybe from the trailer, maybe since it’s Jolla-branded…can’t tell.

I fully agree - having SFOS preinstalled is definitely a plus.
And I somehow share your hopes regarding optimization and stabilty because Jolla might have better access to the BLOBs

Where is the C2?
Wasn’t it going to be released today?

What the hell is wrong with you guys? Is impatience a global plague, or are you all just a bunch of spoiled brats?
Sorry, no offence. It just had to be said.

Maybe I missed it but where is the fingerprint reader located?

I’ve looked up the phone on the Reeder page (since it looks like it’s Reeder S19 MAX PRO S model (what a mouthful)), and it appears to be on the side, similar to Xperia 10.
Edit: Looking at the specs on this page, it looks like it doesn’t have one? Other pages claim it has one. I am a tad confused, not gonna lie.

I currently have a Pinephone.
It’s the worst mobile phone I’ve ever held.
Battery life is unbearable.
I can’t get rid of it fast enough.
I could (or should) have bought a sony Xperia III or even IV?
But I bought a voucher for the Jolla C2 instead,
because that was the only I saw in Jolla’s shop
and it seems like the future for Linux phones.
If I were spoiled I would have bought a Volla phone and went with Ubuntu Touch.

Thanks for the effort!
Looks like we are going to wait on a official reply. 
I hope a fingerprint reader is there and preferably on the side so a privacy screen protector wont cause issues.

Your first mistake: Thinking PinePhone is a real phone and not a tinker toy / development device / tech curiosity.

Ideally, yes 
I’d love to have an official SFOS phone that also has wireless charging, but I don’t think that would fit the budget.
