Second system effect unfortunately :-( IMHO They should have started with a simpler Harmattan-level functionality rather than redesigning most of the things and getting inspiration even from WP with the color palette and UI layouts. They lost authenticity and originality in the process, N9 seemed super elegant comparing to the 1st Jolla phone, the icons especially are unpleasant to look at. And I say this as a fan of Jolla and previously of MeeGo/Maemo. I hope they will improve with their 2nd device.

Well as the Product Manager for Nokia Z Launcher, I beg to differ ;)
