Jolla Phone : First Experiences, Pros and Cons

Don’t understand me wrong, for me the AAS bluetooth has been great plus! And with Xperia bluetooth worked for me perfectly. I understand that there is problems with anything fancier than Oura ring and headphones, but at least basic things has worked smoothly and will work for sure soonish. Have people had problems with call with Jolla phone? I saw some 2g thread, but it sounded at least partly carrier thing. What do you mean with camera? Sure, it is not the best, but upgrade from Xperia 10 III for sure! Or do you mean the dust problem?

But yeah, people have different needs for phone. Everything I need work, expect the Bluetooth reliable and Here we go (well technically I also would like to have Microsoft authenticator working, but with 10 III it just started to send the popup notifications. I’m waiting same miracle). I assume, these two bugs are the reason: Jolla Phone (2026) Bluetooth crashes randomly - #15 by CLMA31 & [5_2_0_16] [JP2026] Graphics engine bug in AAS? for my two problems.

I can workaround through both, as I don’t mandatorily need Bluetooth as long as it still kind of works with Oura. It would be VERY nice to use headphones, but I can live for a while. For Here we go I replaced with comaps for now. I’m heavy phone user in traditional sense, I don’t tinker around or like it particularly. But I really need to have device outside the duopoly and I’m sure Sailfish will be much more polished in a year. For me the 500€ investment was more than good deal. When looking year back, Sailfish has taken major steps forward and I don’t think the phase will slow down :slight_smile:
If you feel like these current bugs annoy you too much, maybe switch for a sec back to old phone? Then when you see next version releases you can check if things have gotten better and hopefully bugs that bothered you are fixed
