@Mehrad @jolla Nordea and S-Pankki I believe work fine. Danske Bank's Mobiilipankki works but Danske ID does not, so you'll need a hardware token from Danske Bank (it is free). Not sure about Osuuspankki but there is a forum post that had a list of tested apps.

@quite @jolla Nope, this is the same model! I have been following it through its development process and last month had the opportunity to head to the Jolla office in Tampere to check out one of the few first CNC and hand-made units (pre-production). This one I saw yesterday (met them here in Helsinki) is built with proper tooling and has tolerances closer to what will actually be shipped.

@ermo @jolla The model is: Do what you want, it's your device.
You can install native apps from the Jolla Store, OpenRepos, Chum (thanks @piggz), etc. You can get an RPM from someone off the street if you're brave enough and flash it to your device. I don't personally know how trivial it is to set up your own OBS and repo, but if Chum exists then clearly you can 😁
https://openrepos.net/
https://sailfishos-chum.github.io/
https://docs.sailfishos.org/Reference/Software_Packaging/
For Android apps, you can install apps with F-Droid, Aurora (open source Google Play Store client), etc. When running them with microG (not required ofc) than just running them on top of Google's Android, I'd argue you're in a better and more privacy respecting position since you're using a reputable open implementation of the services, and APIs like for Maps are swapped for privacy respecting options e.g. MapLibre.

I had the opportunity to meet up with @jolla@techhub.social again to talk about (and see!) how the new Jolla Phone is progressing, including new iteration that is using tooling and not hand-made.
The tolerances are really fantastic now. No gaps! The buttons and privacy switch felt firmer, with the power button now being a bit more recessed to make accidental presses harder.
Gone is the antenna tape, proper antennas are now around the device. Stronger battery shield. There were some design changes made to the interior (TOH2 side) to hopefully give any prospective TOH2 hardware designers in the community some more flexibility. I'll let Jolla dive into that since you never know if it'll evolve further beyond the iteration I saw.
The Other Half 2 cover is now using an orange resin and not just a white base + color being painted on. It looks _more_ orange as one might expect. TOH2 snaps firmly into place now thanks to improvements to the tolerances.
I'm really looking forward to July to get my hands on a finalized model!

Blackmagic just added in photo editing and image / album management into Resolve (with 21). Will have to try this out and compare it against Darktable!

Man even with the flu vaccine, whatever strain is going around is really draining.
So much for a productive four day weekend... Was really hoping to do some Budgie 11 streaming 🫠 Also really got some Fedora stuff I gotta get done and file freeze exceptions for.

After 8 iterations and a bunch of shim prints, finally have my Ender 3 V3 SE bed almost perfectly level. Still have a glass bed on the way, which should fix the center being lower, but the deviation is just slightly higher than my typical layer size (0.12mm) so very happy with these results.
