That'll be quite a lot of us who need to recalibrate then. Most commentators seem to be seeing oranginess ...

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Awesome! I like orange. (my vote goes for orange definitely, seen thie vids with this cover and the press photos on a few monitors, always thought will be choosing this colour while finishing the preorder, maybe it's like with indigo, some see blue, some violet)

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Almost all your signature, Dave, is in Poppy Red. You knew everything about LE TOH from the beginning, didn't ya? )))))

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Damn straight.but I'm looking forward to the event tomorrow with the ice cold white TOH rather than TMO RED TOH.

I'll stick to the issues I'm familiar with.

2. a terminal (fingerterm, https://github.com/nemomobile/fingerterm) is available close to out-of-the-box, after enabling developer mode. it's not xterm, but then again, you aren't going to get that easily given we don't have x
3. root means root. this is a regular linux system, more or less. you can do what you like, there is no aegis.

So, Asia will not be penetrated, but we (the lucky Europeans) are going to be deeply penetrated? Is that what you are saying? :D

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Orange is pretty close on the colour spectrum of course and it does look more orange than postbox red is. The Jolla red reminds me of tomato soup.

I think what's confusing is that in the UK we have those horrible paper/plastic poppies at this time of year which are a deep crimson red when real poppies are lighter in colour usually.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Oh yes there is. :D

Hey, I've had this handle since 2003. I'm not going to change it because of Nokia.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

I'd anticipated that they'd gone with Pantone Poppy Red (rather than a red that looks like the colour of a real poppy) because it was fashionably on trend this year.

Still, we'll find out for sure in a very short time now.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

So... less than 48 hours, eh?

Kudos to the real first purchases and luck to the Jolla folks. Can't heap nothing but praises on their team for going from Nokia to new endeavor to delivered product.

I'm pretty sure either Engadget or The Verge will participate. But, their reviews will most likely bash on it.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Glad you didn't say Gizmodo. WTF is going on with that site lately? Way too damn hipster for me.

I'm personally waiting on Ars Technica's take on Jolla. That's going to be a serious read.

reviewwwwww where is it?? mana???

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

I just noticed that the numbers of app submissions as well as registered developers have jumped up a lot. Last week I usually saw single digit for the two metrics but today they are 27/80 respectively.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

I'm not sure they ever will, at least in a timely manner...
They very rarely cover anything about Sailfish(Jolla), & when they do they seem quite disengaged/uninformed.
When it comes to Android alternatives they seem far more interested in Ubuntu Touch, & then maybe Tizen :rolleyes:

Completely OT, but some good reading over there ATM:

Tomi Pienimäki was at finnish good-morning TV this morning. Showed the phone and the interviewer was playing with it, but nothing new was revealed. Tomi really is not that good performer even in finnish. A bit too engineer like. Not meant to offend engineers. His specialists talents must lay somewhere else.

In addition to him, there was some Aalto University professor. Can't remember his special field, something like mobile communication. What I really liked about his speeches was that he said he was confident of the ease of usage of sailfish. The interviewer was worried of lack of buttons in user experience, but the professor told her that the Nokia N9 had no buttons also, Sailfish is reminiscent of that phone and the N9 was the greatest UI invention in mobile industry. Now there one must agree :D

"Today my other half is pink" and tomorrow it has grown pink hair... :rolleyes:

To me the said connections look nothing more than batter / antenna or USB at best.
I was expecting some kind Jolla bus.

And the other half, well hat is just a plastic Chinese cover.

At Finnish YLE:

Jollan puhelin myyntiin tänään – "Ei tule pärjäämään yksin"
http://yle.fi/uutiset/jollan_puhelin..._yksin/6955214

Rough English translation, you can blame me on translation errors:

Jolla phone on sale today - "Will not do on its own"

Today Jolla launches its first phone and is planning to sell hundreds of thousands of phones during the first year. Now the challenge for a small Finnish company will be the marketing. The company will not stand up on its own.

[intro text for the video] Jolla, founded by ex Nokia people, will bring its first phones to the market. What they look like, and can they challenge? And how the land lies on Finnish phone and mobile know-how? At the Morning TV Jolla's CEO Timo Pienimäki and IT network professor Jukka Manner from Aalto University discussed about the future of Finnish mobile industry. Video: Yle

Wednesday afternoon, history will be made at Narinkkatori, when for a long time there will be a new Finnish mobile phone at the market whose brand is not the familiar Nokia.

At the mobile phone company Jolla's launch event the first 450 preorderers will receive the long-awaited phone on their hands.

After Nokia's final decision last week to sell its phone division Jolla is now on almost the only flag bearer of the domestic phone design.

And the challenge is great.

- So far the challenge for Jolla has been the development, but now the challenge will be finding a market to achieve sales. It is by no means easy field. Faced with the big players like Google, Apple and Microsoft, and there are also newer small companies like Mozilla and Ubuntu coming to the market, research director Jyrki Ali-Yrkkö from the Research Institute of the Finnish Economy ETLA is analyzing.

The small company's goal for this year is to sell twenty thousand phones. Within a year, the target is about two hundred thousand phones.

Initially, the market is Finland, later also Europe and China. With the pursued sales volume Jolla would still be a very small player in a huge market.

Jolla CEO Tomi Pienimäki believes that there is however strength in small size.

- Yes, there is always room for challengers in all markets. It is the law of nature, which applies to all industries. We are a small company and it means our cost structure is very light. This in turn means that we do not, of course, need to achieve impossible large volumes, so that the business will be profitable.

Close Co-operation

Alone, the mobile newcomer is not expected to do well on the brutal markets. These days the major mobile phone companies are investing huge amounts of money on marketing, which is often seen directly on the phone sale volumes. A fledgling firm doesn't have that kind of money in its back pocket.

- Own money for the global marketing budget will not be enough. But through co-operation, for example by having operators involved in the activity, you can succeed, ETLA's Ali-Yrkkö sheds light on.

The cooperation has already begun. For example, the telephone operator DNA has been closely involved in the design of the first phone that will be published today. In its own words, DNA has brought the customer's perspective into the product development of the phone.

- Of course business has always risks, but in this case we have tested the phone and found it to be good. We believe that it has a great potential both in Finland and abroad, the phone business director Cedric Kamtsan from DNA says.

Currently on my way to Helsinki, invited to meet the Jolla crew before the big event, just how the flight is not late.
Amazing free fast Wi-Fi on Norwegian flights!

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

I wanna see how much the first one on ebay gets, maybe we could have a sweepstake!

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Don't forget to keep your blog updated and enjoy the flight :)

Same piece on YLE's english news site:

http://yle.fi/uutiset/jolla_phones_a...otnote/6956112

Hmmm. The YLE translator has added 'hopefully' for the sentence about China release. In the original finnish version it was soon/near term/something like that.

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

Damn straight. Love Norwegian!

Where are you flying from? :)

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement
 

I'm impressed at your commitment, I don't think your mad, even if your wife and kids do. I got the invite, but unfortunately I couldn't get time off work out of other commitments, so I am stuck here in the UK waiting for the deliveries to begin. I'll be following your blog closely this afternoon/evening :)

Re: #JollaLoveDay - 20th May - device announcement

We've known for ages now that there's such a bus, not a proprietary "Jolla bus", but I2C.

Where is this BLOG of his that people keep referring too?

OMG the weather looks utterly miserable, I feel cold & wet just looking at those pictures :D
