The OS doesn’t currently support many of the community apps most users would consider “required,” and the git repos are not showing much activity yet. Keep in mind that you should check compatibility.

• The Captive Portal at my Hyatt hotel does not function. It recognises the DNS captive redirect but never brings it up. At another public wifi, I was able to trick the browser with a Desktop Mode request.
• Apps crash and get into a weird state. Through all the wifi testing, I would find a race condition where only a reboot would clear and allow changing SSID
• Android is way faster and more seamless. Kudos for the out-of-the-box install of both Fdroid and Aurora Store.
• The camera is WAY better than the original Jolla phones, but it could be better. The video recording is unstable, and I have yet to capture it. I will post some images comparing it with my Samsung Fold 6.
• The keyboard was one of the first things I loved about the OS many years ago, but the lack of autocorrect and guessing makes day-to-day usage challenging. I would see if the FUTO team would be interested in porting some of the techs over, as that’s a tremendous local-first Android keyboard.
• The lack of a fingerprint reader is TOUGH. The pin entry gets laborious.
• The OS took a few hours to settle. There was some memory issue I couldn’t debug, but after a few hours, the phone seemed to finish whatever it was doing and became less stuttering with basic tasks.
• I’m amazed at how far the OS has come in the past 10+ years. It is still as intuitive as I remember the first versions. The pedigree from Meego still makes me smile big, as did the first N800 boot.

I have more to share, but those are my first 24 hours with the phone in SIM-less mode, primarily on wifi.
