It'd be a sad day indeed if we had to buy an Android device that then had Jolla ported to.. I rather like the design they have, but I'm another that uses T-Mobile and am wanting to get the Jolla phone. I have my T-shirt!

slaapliedje: The only option so far is for Jolla to start making additional production line with common USA bands compatible modems. I hope it won't take another year for Jolla to do that. Even if they'll produce Asia targeted line, it won't really help: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks

Jolla supports UMTS 900/2100 which means complete 3G coverage with Optus Australia and also Vodafone & 2degrees in New Zealand. However Telstra's 850 Mhz 3G is missing according to the famous sticker.

We'll have to wait for LTE, but I would expect at least 1800 and 2600 MHz. I understand that 1800 Mhz is the most common for LTE in Australia for now.

I know Jolla hasn't sought out FCC certification yet. Do they have CE certification yet? Anybody with a box or device, care to check?

Haven't noticed or checked for a sticker myself, but I believe a CE certification is a requirement to sell the device in Europe.

If you have a device, should be simple to sort out, shouldn't it?

Yes it has. It's under the battery and it reports "CE 0682" .
The 0682 is the 'notified body' that has done the assessment, and it's listed in EU documents as CETECOM ICT SERVICES GMBH (Germany).

Thank you kindly. Weird question, I know. But hadn't seen the certification.

Besides the CE 0682 mark, the box also lists the frequencies as follows:

GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz
UMTS: 900/2100 MHz


All times are GMT. The time now is 16:02.
