Next gen Jolla Phone

I expect it to be a pocket computer able to do lots of stuff, and more and more as time goes on.

What I cannot currently do on SFOS and need Android apps:

  • Run a navigator with real-time traffic information.
  • Run the latest version of any browser (sorry, but websites often require this).
  • Access online banking (web access requires the app for 2-factor authenticati/on).
  • Use vending machines on the go.
  • Purchase public transportation tickets.
  • Use electronic ID apps.
  • Use music streaming services or music identification services (ie Shazam).
  • Use instant messaging (sorry, everybody uses Whatsapp).
  • Use photo backup services.
  • Use utilities that are precious for my job (e. g. Smith chart matching or Electrodroid).
  • Use public administration utilities.
  • Access smart home devices.
  • Pay parking online.

What I cannot do at all on SFOS and need an Android phone:

  • Use vending machines at work.
  • Use car scanner devices.
  • Use apps via car built-in services (ie Android Auto).
  • Use one of my banks’ apps (because it won’t start if you don’t lock the screen).
  • Use the Italian public administration app IO (because it relies on Google’s infrastructure).
  • Use the most popular parking app in Italy MooneyGo (because it crashes).
  • Use my smartwatch.

Unfortunately we cannot promote anything with our user base.
