Hi, sorry I didn't notice that post.
We haven't discussed any formal approach to Jolla, but SD69 volunteered to establish official contact with them.
I think the best approach is that you simply forward us by email (council@maemo.org) the list of questions. We can discuss it internally, maybe clean it up a bit and send it to them.
Maybe do a final call for Qns in this thread & elsewhere (mail-list/IRC etc) before you do.
After that I can lock the doc from all but the CC, then you can edit it & send them the link, or copy it all into an email.
If they just answered the questions directly in the doc it might be a little more transparent.
No middle man (Community Council) needed to forward on email correspondence etc.

Wonder if people here will be willing to pay higher price for a Jolla phone than todays androids?
Because I am sure the Jolla mobiles will be higher priced cause of a lot less volumes.... What also pisses me of is how Google is doing buy selling Nexus a hell to lowpriced. That hurt every damn company including themselfts in the longer run.
Would I pay a higher price than $MAXXXSPEXXX_ANDROID_FLAGSHIP to simply buy a generic slab running Mer? Hell no.

I am guessing they will be comparing their prices with the Lumia line and probably put it a bit above that. Which in the current market is better/lower than a bit above top line Android.
I don't think it'll be a generic slab, though.

I just thought about whether "jolla OS" is a good name for a brand. I certainly like it much more than maemo and meego, its short and unique and the logo looks quite nice.
However I am a bit concerned that "jolla" is too difficult to pronounce in english. Any native english speaker can comment on this?
In german its a bit awkward to say, but sounds kinda jolly.

+1 to kevloral, although I did say earlier in the thread that jolla isn't jewel in Spanish. As for the pronounciation, a Spanish speaker from Spain might disagree, but I do agree with you, kevloral.
