It certainly looks more and more like that with every passing day. But it did not look like that at the beginning. If the product they are selling is the software, then the common sense would suggest presenting it on a bog-standard, pure-reference-design hardware. This is the case with the tablet but the phone and its TOH concept deviates from the standard (if only a little) and, for quite some time, they were pushing the TOH concept like the best thing since sliced bread. Either they changed their mind some time in the past two years or they were sending out mixed messages

Having said that, I agree with you. I do not expect any new phone coming out of Jolla Oy.
