In this announcement they mention both Intex and Turing.
They have started on the Jolla Tablet refunds.
And lastly they talk about some special program for all Sailfish developers and community members.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Discount on the Intex or Turing phone, whenever they're released, for people with a Jolla account? Discounts on leftover TOHs? Spare batteries?

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Sorry I did not see your post before posting this.:)

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Developer devices based on intex aquafish, I guess.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

"...and has canceled its debt restructuring application in Finland".
Hopefully Lastucase will get theyr money now.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

its great news, but I wonder is it too little too late

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

They do specifically mention it's for developers and community members, and afterwards 'fans'.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

And?__________

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

What's some guy who likes installing applications from the Jolla store going to do with a developer device?

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Hopefully this means the licensing from Turing and Intex and has brought some cash in.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

some yes, but they said it was only enough for another year, but thats without counting the currently ongoing financing round.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

"Jolla is also preparing a new special community program, which will be announced in the near future"

My bet is they are referencing this announcement from February called "Community Beta Group".

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

I'm sure they're bringing in tons of licensing money from all the devices that Intex aren't selling because Jolla can't provide the needed code, and all the Turing phantomware.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Now how is it that I am not at all surprised that this comment came from you... :p

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

so no money? :P

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Yes, and having read the press release now ... ugh.

Saarnio is still rattling on about "death valleys". The guy is a total *****. Why hasn't he been gotten rid of? Does he seriously think, or any of the remaining management, that this kind of talk is what potential partners or customers want to hear? Aside from the negativity and woe-is-me attitude, the tone and phrasing sound completely ridiculous.

Sounds like absolutely nothing has changed.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Hmm interesting article:

(Google translated from finnish):
Jolla money coming from abroad: "In Russia, active investors"

-All 12 million comes from abroad
-Split to two companies have been cancelled

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

12 million fills a few potholes.

How about a roadmap going forward? At least for software development?

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

No mention at all for Fairphone2?

I just want a successor to Jolla 1 with SD and removable battery. FP2 is ideal but Intex will also do.

Hopefully new device "soon"

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Jolla 1 has a removable battery ;)

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Me too, but with at least 3g network support on some US carrier as well. I'll take Aquafish, Fairfish, Turingfish, Puzzlefish, whatever. I'd even forgo the battery and SD card if I had to. I don't "app" in the current sense -- I use an N9 and N900, so clearly my need for Android compatibility is nonexistent, so I'd sacrifice that, too.

With decreasing battery capacity, I guess I better Frankenstein the N9 with the good battery and case doors and the N9 with the good system board instead if I need something soon instead of Soon™, since with my requirements, Soon™ may never come.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

They finally produced one this time last year ... but it's now not been updated for 9 months.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

And an SD card.

BTW good job you said 'removable' and not 'replaceable' ;)

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

I really think that Jolla, if not most phones, should have a global 4G LTE capability. I don't think I would buy it otherwise.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

In fairness you can remove the battery from any phone.

Materials:

1) Claw hammer

2) Phone

edit - so this post isn't entirely silly:

I'm with chenliangchen, in that my main 'dealbreaker' is a non-removable (erm... you know what I mean) battery. In fact I probably would have bought the Yotta Phone 2 instead of the Jolla if it had had one. I don't regret taking a punt on the Jolla now, of course (although sometimes it tries my patience :) )

You have probably seen this, but it has some info on what 4g bands the 'aquafish' has.

If its true, not good for USA?

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Not so good, right. Unless you're in an area served by "U.S. Cellural", which I assume is US Cellular, which serves some of the Upper Midwest and a few other limited areas. You might be SOL on GSM elsewhere.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

More promises...

Will anyone even care when (or if) they actually have something to release?

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Thanks! Might work via At&t or US Cellular in certain areas including where I live. Will have to check it out further.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

If they've cancelled the company split, does that mean they may still be interested in hardware?

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

I care. They're the only option, if I don't want Android, iOS, and Windows Phone. :(

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

You can get involved in B2G. But I think it is far from being as mature as SFOS is.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

B2G is dead (on phones)

Sent from my Jolla using Tapatalk

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Gives more credebility to my theory that the spilt was a preemtive measure to save the company from TabletGate and Phone-Sales-Disaster.
In worstcase, meaning no adittional financing at all, they surely would have dumped the Tablet claims and Jolla Phone support in "Bad Jolla" and sail on the remaining valuble asset and new deals with "Good Jolla".
That draconian measure seems to be of the table now.
To me this is the best news in a long time.
12 mio should give them at least another year to improve and take theyr chances.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Okay, now announce a Jolla phone successor with a hardware keyboard. :p

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

The more pessimistic possibility is that there is no jPhone2 and there won't ever be, and there's no longer a tablet, so there's no hardware to spin off.

Or maybe that's actually optimistic, and they'll put all their limited resources into getting Sailfish to work on 3rd party H/W and licensing it.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Best outcome (dreaming here) would be that the community/dev program has a specialized device with the h/w keyboard. Use Intex, Turing etc to push commercial end-user devices and have Jolla sell devices for devs with keyboard etc

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

Oh yeah. Develop a completely new phone just for the pleasure of 100 people. Good idea. Way to go.

Re: Jolla releases new statement about financing and licensing
 

I really hope not.

They've got three possible hardware partners already. Leave it to them. Find another few even that aren't so crap/niche.

Spend the 12 million on software development and community/developer engagement for their moribund OS and store.
