I haven't looked at much of the Jolla stuff but some of you may remember<br>
I had an N900 review model a few years back. The OS at the time was<br>
Maemo, which then morphed into Meego and was effectively killed by<br>
internal fighting. The software was pretty good though and it was<br>
effectively Debian on a phone. I could apt-get my packages in a terminal<br>
and all.<br>
<br>
Sadly Nokia took the phone back so I don't have it now but I'd be<br>
interested to see what Jolla have done.<br>
