Best UI? Isn't it like other smartphone OSs, lacking close buttons? That is one of many great things about Maemo/Matchbox/Hildon

No, it isn't. I want a Linux phone, not a Firefox phone. Jolla is much better in the OS department, kinda sorta get there with the KB for the "other half", but fail with the screen.

I already put in €150
I can't wait!

No, the resistive screen is one of the best parts. I hate iphone/android capacitive screens!

They might end up using a new battery, and the SoC at least should be more power efficient. Anyway, the n900 battery life is more a function of software than hardware.

They still have BIOS. If you turn off UEFI, you use the BIOS.

Only a moron would believe that.
