Judging from this pic in @Jollahq twitter photostream, you are correct.

I surely hope that's where the truth is and it means we'll have Jolla available through a Czech provider (although there are just international providers - O2, Vodafone, T-Mobile - in the Czech Republic, so I guess it wouldn't make sense to contact them locally).

Other possibility is he's got it through his employer - according to his website, he's just a teenager, but works as a designer for a company developing mobile apps. It's not very likely, but they could be Jolla's contractor.

Well, now they have some spare change in the building. Japanese investors just paid 1,5 billion euros for 50% share of Jolla's neighbour, Supercell.

LOLing hard. 1,5 billion for 2 games.

So supercell almost as valued as Nokia mobile...

Microsoft got great bang for the buck.

Any chance these are behind jolla as well?

Geezus that's been a meteoric rise, almost seems too good to be true...
IIRC, a similar course of evolution took place for Zynga before it came back down to earth.

Jolla is located in the old and big Nokia Ruoholahti R&D center? Somehow missed that, even as I pass the place daily.

At least the contract included the HQ to stay in Finland and by far the majority of the 49% left is owned by the two founders and the 100 workers. Not to talk about the workers and founders receiving truck loads of money.
I honestly can't believe they could have kept this up by just making games as they do now.

Have anyone seen jolla lately. I'm afraid they have cancelled the whole thing. If they can't won't talk about Sailfish or the product they can Atleast say something.
Tissot, please knock on the door tomorrow on your way to work, just to make sure...

Yes, just walk by the building on the other side the next time.
