  • Jolla is definitely interesting, but search around, there are caveats.

    One notable thing is that until pretty recently they were on a subscription model for OS updates, that turned a lot of people off. I get the need for continued funding, but definitely not something I’d want to deal with on my phone.

    Also, for me personally, my phone is partially for work too so it needs to be compatible with that or else I honestly probably don’t really even need a phone. Jolla has some preliminary support there, but there’s no way it could pass our requirements for MDM compliance at my company and I doubt it would for most others. There are things that are non-optional there in relation to audit requirements that a lot of very different companies all have to comply with and it’s just not compatible with the idea. That’s probably going to be the major sticking point for any smaller players trying to break into the mobile market.

    I might consider a Jolla tablet if they gave it another shot, but we do have a lot more options in the linux non-phone portable space.










  • If you’re basing your value judgement on the price of similar games on the market right now then no, it’s very very unlikely to be worth 70. There are critically acclaimed open world games that will likely beat this on content and potential enjoyment / play time for $5-10 right now.

    Realistically, we’re paying for the novelty though, if you’re desperate for something new it might work. I told myself my price point was $60, but there will probably be some sort of discount on the way to or shortly after launch day for the PC version.
