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.

Ari Jaaksi previously on the Maemo-MeeGo team, left to join HP for WebOS (We ‘swapped’ him for Peter Skillman).
