Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
I know this is a stupid question but many phones such as the N9 and the N900 were unlocked and could easily be imported and used. Will that be the case with the Jolla device?

Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
Jolla didn't publish supported frequencies specs for the radio modem which will be shipped with their first production batch, so you'll have wait until that information will be available (I guess not until the actual release on November 27th).
So far, all they said was: Quote:

I don't know, I doubt that information will suddenly change now in such a short time. You can ask them this question.

Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
I'd be willing to bet yes, but 4G/LTE is questionable based on whomever you pick as your provider in the US.
But it might/should fallback to 3G in most cases. Just an educated guess, so please treat it as such. |

There is no practical benefit in publishing these specs, while you can't even buy the device yet. Except may be letting potential users plan their future purchases in a better fashion. On the other hand I'm not sure how publishing them can hurt Jolla.

Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
The website, gsm arena sates that it has NFC as well. Now, I might be mistaken, but Jolla officially never said anything about NFC... did they?

Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
never trust gsmarena
|
Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
gerbick
agree with you not trusting gsmarena or any other place for that matter until official released from Jolla. Thats why i mentioned "not official" and there is Disclaimer @ gsmarena "We can not guarantee that the information on this page is 100% correct" i guess this more trustworthy http://jolla.com/ (speaking of NFC) there is spec. ;) |

Has Jolla confirmed that LTE will work in Finland at least? |
Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
They haven't confirmed any frequency support. But all 3 main LTE networks in finland work at 800 (planned, not active yet), 1800 and 2600 mhz. (There's also one test project at 700mhz). So support for those bands would be quite probable.

So it should at least work on EU standard 1800Mhz and 2600 MHz bands. Big question is if it works on newer 800Mhz frequencies, which is what most of Finland (outside Helsinki, Turku, Tampere and few bigger towns) will be covered with. My guess would be that the cheap generic Chinese hardware platforms (ie Jolla) don't mostly support it yet. |

That having an extension interface for NFC is the same as having NFC

Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
It is not clear to me what that means. Is NFC included in the main half (phone), or only in NFC-capable-OH connected through I²C? The latter sounds limiting, and I admit I always believed the main NFC part was in the phone (plus NFC chips in some OH for simple interactions, like automatic Ambiance).

Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
Jolla will self explode as soon as it crosses the US border. Jolla will not withstand pressure from other competitors.

Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
Now that the device is out, can anyone that has it confirm the bands it supports?

Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
I agree... Would be nice to know if I'm getting an LTE device or 3G device :p

Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
about bands
I read on IRC that 4G will come later as an upgrade (see that in the user guide only 3G is mentionned) So maybe something is still unclear and they do not want to make any announcement yet? Regarding 3G they could make a statement. But they basically mean that it works everywhere with 3G (but that is more my assumption). |
Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
As an upgrade to the hardware? How exactly do you see this happening? Or it's a software limitation which can be fixed with an OS update?
User guide does mention 4G in the very end. |

Regarding 3G, it's probably obvious that it's pentaband at this point, but I'd like to have some closure on this. |
Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
No, jPhone cannot be used, not even imported into US. You know why? I tell you why. The moment it hits the US soil, Jolla will be sued by Apple for patent infringement in speaker placement. So, that's all, folks.

UMTS: 900/2100 MHz Now you can do your math about what will work in the US. I don't find any info about LTE, though, and as I don't have an LTE contract, cannot test it either. |
Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
LTE isn't functional on Jolla device, so that shouldn't figure into your calculation.
