I used to have a Jolla phone which ran a pretty cool linux OS on it but it only worked because it had an alien dalvik android vm so I could still run apps like those from my bank, whatsapp etc..

It's nearly impossible to live in the modern world without either an iphone or android without making some major sacrifices e.g. I'd love to not use whatsapp but it's not an option because all of my friends and family use it

The difference between Norway and most countries with Oil is how Norway manages the proceeds. It has a very long term plan and doesn't allow too much of the money to reside in Norway thereby artificially inflating the economy.

Only on Earth we used it as one of the navigation systems to get astronauts on the moon.

The author has a very good youtube channel if you like getting advice like this that can be trusted.

I'd also recommend using http://examine.com/ to validate studios on what you are going to eat by yourself.

In fairness, this is really down to where you live. If you live in the EU you will see exactly how much sugar is in the drink by looking at the label because that's what the law says.
It's up to regulators to hold companies to account. They certainly aren't going to print things that could possibly harm sales on their labels by themselves.

I plan to use mine with an apple bluetooth keyboard I'd say you'll need some external device for screens though.

Do you still use it on a regular basis. I got mine on the first day it released and admittedly back then there were some issues e.g. lack of 4g and some software instability but it has gotten better and more stable with every update.
I obviously stuck with it where you decided not too and I can understand why but I would urge you to give it a second chance.

Yep, I generally use the amazon app store on mine since it's reputable and has the main android apps I want e.g. Netflix, Shazam ...

One of the city bike apps also supports Dublin along with a lot of other cities in Europe.
