Anyone with twitter ready to ask for more images to see if this is real or fake?
Should be easily trackable by Jolla, IMEI left visible on the mobile screen/ picture posted

Well they have clearly decided not to share that info, so I don't think it as being as "ridiculously" vague. Completely understandable.

IMO he probably resigned due to messing something up badly, bad press communication, or was forced due disagreements between him and other stockholders (maybe the other stockholders didn't like the way he led the company?) Dunno.

If it's stolen, yes. But if he bought it I hope he shares. This is actually what jolla needs.

Seems legit as these pictures are new (never seen). Good news regarding the build quality.

Not much new stuff there but:
-It looks that Jolla can reach their target to deliver first orders before end of the year.
-Apparently first given schedule for start of sales (last winter) was miscommunication from previous CEO (Hurmola).
Some pretty interesting "good to know" type of info there. Why the delay from summer happened and so on.

Thinking of the future, the mention of Sailfish coming available for download to "somewhere". It would be amazing if Jolla would be available for download by HTC or Jolla for that specific hardware. HTC one for example. Would love that and happily pay for that software and support.

Jolla aligns their strategy not to be about selling hardware, but getting Sailfish to other manufacturers. Part of the reason for going that strategy is the unification of phone hardware.
Totally agree with that. Imo pure mobile phone manufacturers will see expensive smartphones turning into a general goods (like basic phones) sooner than you might think. It's a another thing does Jolla have anything really special to offer against others. Android will keep ruling, maybe even more dominant than it is now.

Well if 3rdparty phones get Jolla the first one who deserve it is N9...

Yup theres a bit in there where the current CEO says that their plan is to get 80% of their income come from the Sailfish OS (Note not from the hardware).

Whetever they succeed is another matter, but both you and Jolla CEO are dead right IMHO. Smartphone hardware is becoming a penny business like PC hardware, and the money will be on the OS. That is propably the reason why the finnish title of that article translates as "Jolla wants to be the Google of mobile, not the Nokia".

Something is wrong here. Software OS is also penny market...people won't pay much for a os today.

Something is fishy with this article or you reading it wrong.

Nope.

Something is is wrong with your head instead. Just ask Microsoft or Google about OS being a penny market.

Edit and post scriptum:


Its not about people being willing to pay for OS. It's about zillions of euros in profit being made from operating systems, while 'the people' could not even give a half-assed definition for what an operating system is.
