I found Jolla comparatively very stable and the Android support was good enough for my purposes, given that it makes little sense to buy a Jolla phone for the sole purpose of running Android apps. People judge Jolla harshly for things they will forgive Android for. "has unfortunately stopped" is disturbingly common in the Android world, coming from Jolla, even before we get into the horrible quality of the vast majority of apps on the Google Play Store. Clearly if your #1 priority is apps from Google Play Store, you should buy an Android phone. But if you want anything different, or if you want an actual Linux phone.... my only objection with Jolla is that they seem starved for resources to regularly release hardware and to target markets like North America at all. So no matter how great a job they do, almost nobody sees their work.

Just to clarify: I was not speaking about application stability, I spoke about the whole OS. I've never seen native Jolla apps crash, the Android apps also seem to be rather stable when they work. However the whole phone can die - the screen goes balck and the status LED starts to blink red - in the middle of usage or just when it seats in the pocket. The phone will restart in a half of a minute or so, but it's a rather infuriatingly when it does so when you try to answer a call.
