This is actually super cool! It may be over a year since the last Software Update, and nearly two years since device announcement, but the Harmattan community are still finding little secrets left behind by the team. By going into Settings > About and tapping NOKIA a few times in quick succession, you get a [...]
Take a look at the hands on for the new Jolla OS Phone fresh today. There’s a quick tour of the hardware and the OS. The colour options look very Nokia atm no? The peeking whilst video is in play reminds me of Swipe UI on the N9 a bit, though this has [...]
I still remember my first glimpse of Jussi Mäkinen when he demoed the Nokia N900 for the first time and later the Nokia N9. Jussi’s working on the new Ashas now (R&D, Design, Product marketing) which many are describing as being sort of mini N9 esque. Whilst Nokia is in competition with Jolla for consumers, [...]
Here’s a little promo for the new Jolla Phone. In the renders, the front especially reminds me of the Nokia N9. The colourful matte back is also kinda N9-like in a way. All the comments in the YouTube video seem to think so too. Cheers Muerte for the heads up.
Hello Jolla Phone. From the front it kinda seems Nokia N9-esque no? There’s something odd about it that makes me think there’s two phones stacked together (is there a keyboard?). It looks different and even slimmer in the video below. Jolla original design with ample 4.5” Estrade display Dual core and 4G**) Keep it and [...]
Jolla, the OS based on Nokia’s MeeGo (and full of Ex Nokia crew) will be announcing their phone today. Live Stream available at: http://jolla.streamforce1.tv/ Cheers Muerte for the tip!
Ari Jaaksi previously on the Maemo-MeeGo team, left to join HP for WebOS (We ‘swapped’ him for Peter Skillman). Some Nokia fans had a little joke about how Ari is somewhat the Angel of Death regarding these new promising OSes. Well, let’s hope not as he’s sort of back on the Maemo-MeeGo team as he joins [...]
Jolla will announce its smartphone at beginning of May. Pre-order fees will work as funding and in exchange those who pre-order get to choose the looks of their phone. There are several levels of pre-order fees. At beginning of May we will get to know what first phone looks like and how it works. We’ve been [...]
This is departing a little far from Nokia as this is no longer being demoed on a Nokia device, but the OS still has some connections with Nokia (Jolla, MeeGo). It’s the first time I’ve seen Sailfish on a non-phone device. The Acer, previously a tablet with W7, is said to run Sailfish SDK [...]
We were sent a very interesting slide from an anonymous tipster to our tip line, that we are unfortunately not at liberty to publish - but we are fairly confident the slide is a legitimate Nokia document. The actual slide detailed the planned features to be integrated in all 3 of Nokia’s OSes at the time as well as the [...]
Here’s another demo of the Jolla Sailfish OS by Marc Dillon. mobilmagazine Cheers Dino for the tip.
Quick heads up on this Jolla demo from MWC. Michael Fisher talks to the Jolla CTO about Jolla, Sailfish and Nokia. Jolla CTO Stefano Mosconi was kind enough to spend some time at MWC 2013 showing us his company’s new Sailfish smartphone OS, and then answering a few questions about Jolla, Sailfish, Nokia, and the [...]

I got included in a tweet convo where these pictures and videos were noted in the original thread. It’s the Nokia N950 prototype with pre-Swipe UI, just MeeGo-Harmattan I think. It’s what we were shown in the early days of MeeGo. http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=88577&page=8
Labelled “Jolla Music Ringtone”, this appears to be one of the Ringtones for Jolla ( which may sound familiar as it was in one of their promo videos). You can listen to it below: http://jolla.com/ringtone/Jolla_music_ringtone.mp3 It sounds like one of those cheesy Samsung ringtones to me. Source: JollaUsers Cheers MeeDroid for the tip!
Here’s a look at the Sailfish UI for Jolla, as demoed on the Nokia N950. by puhelinvertailu Cheers Sefriol for the tip!
In case you missed Jolla’s keynote from Slush, or just want to see it again, they have uploaded it. You can see it below. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdLUJZR078k It was great to see some famous faces from the community up on stage. Really pleased with what they have brought to the table. It is different, yet familiar, especially [...]
Jolla just revealed the UI for their Sailfish OS. To me, it is a Harmattan-Playbook OS hybrid. The UI brings with it a double tap to wake feature (based on the demo we saw on stage), swipe to exit apps, swipe up on homescreen for the launcher, swipe down for the status info (battery, carrier [...]
A few pieces of Jolla News before I start my Wednesday at the Hospital. Today is Jollas Launch, revealling what their new UI/UX is like. Launch can be watched live here. http://new.livestream.com/slushlive/mainstage Finnish Ooperator DNA will supposedly be selling phones that run MeeGo SailFish. http://www.netapps.fi/jolladna/ (Note, yes, yadda yadda, Nokia blog, why Jolla. Jolla is [...]
It is not easy for me to say this, and frankly I can’t believe I am. If you follow me on twitter, you would know that I have become furious at my N9 recently. To me, the N9 is one of, if not the most, innovative devices of the last decade. When Marko Athisaari announced [...]
First we heard that there would be app compatibility layers for Harmattan. Then Nitdroid came along, and like it did on the N900, it gave us a near-complete version of Android to use on our N9/50s. Well, now we have a compatibility layer of sorts, that allows you to run a very small number of [...]
