What do you get when you take most of Jolla's specs, then add some curves, an FM radio and stereo speakers? The new HTC Desire 601! No wonder it gets 5-star ratings from customers.

Android of course is nothing compared to Sailfish OS, so as a consolation Virgin offers two Desires for the price of one Jolla...

If Jolla didn't exist, HTC One or its successor would be on the top of my personal list. Only HTC One (since Sense 5.5 update) can match Jolla's advanced alarm clock that works even when the phone is powered off.


I'd expect Jolla to announce a US-compatible device this year. They already said hardware upgrades are planned and I can't see any other feature that would sell more phones. Obviously small things like a reseller and FCC approval are needed.
