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 for features that I want (namely GNU/Linux in a phone with a HW keyboard and uSD card slot, etc, etc)? Definitely.

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.

A bit more flattering than 'Lumia'

Not really. It is joya that is Spanish for jewel. Jolla, as such, doesn't exist as an Spanish word. However, both joya and jolla (if it existed) would be pronounced the same in Spanish.

I might just start calling it jOS, some (most?) people might confuse it with some competitor, think it's the next hottest thing and that they'll be nothing without it and there you go, market share for the new player ;-)

+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.

jOS would be quite catchy. Certainly rolls of the tongue easier, may have to use it more myself in the future?

As for the confusion with another OS, J is one higher than i lol.

I wonder if any one has patented the Naming Constraints for a mobile/computing operating system that contains only 3 letters consisting of the first being lower case followed by the upper case OS acronym?

If they have not, then this would be an easy thing to copyright if you used Peugeot as Citation with their naming constraints. You would not have to even use it, as there would be so many people knocking at your door to buy it off you.

Anyways back on topic...

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.
Please keep us updated about how this goes. Let's not wait for long, since some ideas there are actually proposals which better be delivered to Jolla earlier than later.
