Finland-based carrier DNA has confirmed it will be the first operator in the world to offer Jolla phones...
Best wishes.

My example of otherHalf usage: you insert Jolla phone into a music-system (with large, high-fidelity speakers, et cetera), and Jolla feeds your latest favourite music to the system, while the system charges Jolla's battery. Whether the system is capable of downloading the whole music file from Jolla and continuing playing it afterwards or not, this would still be a good use case. Of course, you already can connect a phone to a music system with an audio cable through phone's jack, and use a separate cable to charge phone at the same time. But just sliding the phone into OtherHalf slot would be quicker and easier, and the cables would not tie around your ankles causing the whole system to fall down.
Or, slide the Jolla phone into OtherHalf slot of drinks-vending machine on a train platform, and Jolla would tell the machine which drink you prefer, ask the price, decide whether you want to buy anything, order it from the machine and pay for it from your credit-card-electronic-wallet-whatever; you would take the Jolla in one hand, drink-or-snack in another hand, and absentmindedly enter the train, not forgetting to mind the gap.
Of course, all of this requires that the music-system-or-snack-vending-machine would present their credentials, Jolla would check them, and somehow trust them. It also requires proper set-up of Jolla's software, so that it wouldn't pay $1000 for a cup of coffee. And proper set-up of your wallet, so that it wouldn't let through fraudulent transactions. Maintaining your privacy will not be easy in interconnected world.
For example, Jolla shouldn't, in fact, tell your preferences to the vending machine; it should query the machine's price-list of all available products, compare it with Jolla's information about your preferences, and give to the machine only the final result - the order itself. Even then, the vending machine should have no information which can be used to trace you, such as credit card number or Jolla's own credentials such as IMEI number or phone number. Now I am getting confused...
