I don't need Google's Nexus 5 and I think Jolla does deliver some unique advantage: standard linux underpinning.

A more soft reason is: it's not closed down as the iPhones and also not the one Google ring which collects everything.

It will be my next phone (but wonder how that works for them, coming from WebOS and Lumia800 ... ;)

The reviewer seems very quick to dismiss the gesture based UI. His primary complaint seems to be that navigating it doesn't work the same as existing smart phones. Any HN users have any experience with it who could comment?
