"Jolla is powered by Sailfish OS, a truly open and distinct mobile operating system. Navigate effortlessly with the gesture-based user interface and load the phone with top Android™ apps."

I assume you are talking about this? Because that really told me nothing worthwhile.

I wish these (horribly to use scrolling) sites would just give me link that takes me to a half page description that explains in some detail what the heck they are talking about.



What do you mean nothing worthwhile? Isn't that exactly what it is? A phone with an OS that isn't Android/iOS/Windows/Ubuntu/Firefox? What other description are you expecting?


> Navigate effortlessly with the gesture-based user interface

What's that? I can turn my Android into a "gesture-based UI".

> load the phone with top Android™ apps

Performance of non-native apps? Emulation layer or what is happening?

> truly open

Every bit is OSS? Hardware specification completely available? What is "truly open".

The phone is supposed to appeal to geeks/hackers (I think?), so why does the whole website seem to be something that Apple could have done?
