Looks a lot like the Lumia 920. I miss that device.

Overall, pretty decent, just wish it was worldwide and had a headphone jack like my moto.

Markets: EU, UK, Norway and Switzerland

I guess I'm still waiting...

eh, i just preordered from the us and it looks like it went through. i wonder if they'll cancel it, or if ill need to provide a european address. got a buddy in the uk who said he'd play middle man if need be. 

it may be a network thing, but i have the fairphone 5 which wasnt for the us market either, and it works fine on tmobile.

So i guess the question is, has anyone here owned the previous phone/tablets and have feedback?

SalifishOS link to download seems to just redirect to jolla and can’t find much on previous phones/tablets so already have alarm bells going and can’t see much about SalifishOS itself.

They look good but wonder how committed they’ll be if theres a lack of customers beyond the initial signups?

Most of the phones suck. Jolla 1 was great and Xperia 10 III got great eventually (using an unofficial trick). No other official phone is daily drivable.

If it wasn't for their last Jolla branded phone being a fucking disaster, I'd be buying this in a heartbeat.

But I'll probably wait for the first reviews instead. Also how they didn't ever deliver a portion of the tablets nor did they refund them doesn't really leave me trusting in preorders.

The OS is great, though. If you can get a Xperia 10 III in a good condition, go for it!

Cool! Can you add the link to preorder the phone too please?
