Meh. I'd wait for the first few objective reviews.

I lost interest when they said things like "there is one hardware feature that is unique to Jolla: The Other Half [...] a concept of user-changeable smart back cover."

Surely replaceable plastic covers have been around for decades and they are mostly associated with low-end feature phones... or really old Nokias.

So you lost interest... and stopped reading completely? Had you read any further you would have realised that the unique feature is that there's both a power connector and an I2C interface available to those back covers. It's a pretty brilliant concept - you could interface with the whole host of cool chips which use I2C, or even build yourself a little robot chassis.

Power connector like the wireless chargers by Nokia etc? Not sure what a I2C interface is...

My point is that I would prefer objective reviews, not glowing praise from fans etc. The key question for is not what tech did they pack in a small screen device, but does it actually feel better to use than the incumbents.

If you don't know what an I2C interface is, then you're not in a position to make the criticism that you made. If you were at all interested in expanding your knowledge, a simple google search would reveal that it's a ubiquitous serial interface for communicating with peripheral chips. All that requires more work than just blindly making critical comments on an online message board though, so why bother?

"The Other Half" on Jolla has a serial port which makes it possible for it to be a keyboard or a battery or an external device.
