Does anyone rememner the Jolla phone?

I had one and it was great! The reason: You could do a lot of the necessary things with a phone, like:

* Making calls

* Sending text messages

* Set an alarm/timer

* Take a photo

You could also do a lot of the less necessary things like:

* surfing/facebook/reddit, through the web browser.

* playing (some) games

But, those less necessary things were just a _little_ too much effort to be worth it. Surfing was a bit cumbersome and I didn't have that many apps on it.

I found myself using the phone less for unnecessary things and just as a tool to actually do things I needed. I loved it for that. If they sold decent phones still, I might probably buy another. Now I'm back to android and use the phone for more unneccessary things again.

Also, I liked the sounds and themes on the Jolla.
