It looks very nice. Immersed into work I forgot to order it and now there's no time left for me. Anyway if you can please show us a video about how it works (after you have used it for some time).
Hey Jürgen, I'll surely do, but I am waiting for some more updates till now. There is one bug that keeps it from being my new daily driver they first have to fix. (video recording is not working at the moment)
How do you like the C2? Is it viable as a daily driver? Any issuses? I can't find anything on the internet. I'm unsure if I wanna use my voucher or not.
Hey Stefan, thanks for the question. :) There are a couple of good and a couple of bad points: - I like the screen size. If you have big hands it is much easier to use the keyboard, it is responsive, looks fine and the resolution is good enough. - Battery life seems to be very nice. I do not have any numbers at the moment, but round about 1.5x of the Sony Xperia 10 III seems to be right. (and even the 10 iii is fine) - The cameras are pretty nice for a linux based phone. They seem to have a good quality for the price of the phone. (but remember, no postprocessing is done... so a iPhone or Google based Android with a lot of AI usage, etc will of cause be better) - I like the materials and overall quality of the phone. - Speakers seem to be better than the 10 III too. (and stereo) Neutral points: - You should install the Zero day update as soon as it is offered (it should be from the start). - OpenRepos / Storeman / Chum (anything but the Jolla store) do not yet recognize SFOS 5.0 and you will need to install Chum for instance from the rep-file itself and not with the gui installer from Chum. This is only a matter of time and will of cause soon be different. - Performance is fine - but exactly inbetween the Xperia 10 II and the Xperia 10 III. Totally enough to run SFOS and even for Android games, etc. but I hope for optimizations in future here too. If you look at the frame times on the FPS, they are worse than the once from the Xperia 10 III. In general you do not notice it too much, but sometimes you will feel a micro stutter. Nothing to worry about, but still they should work on it. I am pretty sure this has nothing to do with the hard but more with the optimisation. The Xperia 10 III has a very well done one, the C2 is currently mediocar. The bad points: - At the moment, there seems to be a problem with some of the devices if you do not follow the start up guide precisely. Some needed to be sent back in to Jolla to get fixed. Jolla did respond well and even sent a replacement phone before they received the phone which has to be worked on. - This is temporary too, but really a bad thing to happen: The camera will not take videos at the moment but the camera app will crash if you start the video capturing. I am pretty sure this will be fixed soon, but it should have been working from the first day on. Everything else works as it should for me and you can easily use it as a daily driver if they fix the video problem.
It is meant to experience the unboxing with you, have fun and talk about it with you. But hey, if you just want to watch those 6 minutes, that is totally fine - it is not meant to be a bullet point list or just a "here is the phone, get out of my yard" kind of video.
Great video, thank you very much!
Thank you for the kind words. :)

The last 6 minutes of this video is all that's needed... And even the last 6 minutes are mostly useless
