What percentage of the time you own a typical device is spent in unfamiliarity vs familiarity. In the long run which is more important for you as a user from an optimisation and experience point of view. In the short run which is more important for a salesman or a reviewer point of view. Would you rather Jolla designed for a sales/review experience or a long term user experience? FWIW an iconic car maker in the UK (TVR) produced wonderfully engineered car interiors; one thing that annoyed reviewers and delighted owners was the lack of spurious writing all over the dashboard. I do agree that there is always a balance - we think it's pretty good but we do value feedback as that's what helps us get it just right. > 4. No way to interact with things in the browser e.g. save a picture. A long press does that (although some pages seem to prevent it). We're aware that the discoverability of a long-press is poor. > 5.

The other things you mention are in part due to the early phase of development. I'd also be interested if you'd care to post back how you find the device after a month of usage.
