I put my support down, thanks for letting me know, I was looking for something like this
Anyone know what bands it supports? Would love to import one to the US if the bands are supported with Mint/Tmo
Edit:
Will the Jolla Phone work outside Europe, can I use it e.g. in the U.S.? Yes, we will design the cellular band configuration to enable global travelling as much as possible, including e.g. roaming in the U.S. carrier networks.
Can I buy the Jolla Phone if I’m outside Europe, can I use it e.g. in the U.S.? The initial sales markets are EU, UK, Switzerland and Norway. Entering other markets, such as the U.S. and Canada are to be decided due course based on potential interest from the areas.
We will design the cellular band configuration to enable potential future markets, including major U.S. carrier networks.Same as the c2. Wasn’t supported for us bands.
That and no headphone jack here which is a bummer. Honestly I’d like sailfish or the old furios phone but the latter didn’t work with tmo MMS at the time.
It’s not mentioned on the store page, but according to the accompanying form thread, the whole thing is based on a unspecified but “powerful” MediaTek SOC
The store page does mention it further down, in the Tech Specs section, but there it also only lists:
SoC: High performant Mediatek 5G platform
Really considering preordering one. After a car accident, my phone (which was already aging) got damaged and I was thinking on changing it. This might be the one.
Even if the processor is unidentified, my use case for the phone makes it more than enough (I don’t play or do anything aside some messagging, phone calls and web browsing).
I’ve never heard about sailfishos before. Are there any phones running it now? Also, forgive my lack of knowledge, but what’s stopping people from running it on their samsungs or whatever?
The whole thing does look interesting. Hopefully it picks up so that in 2 or 3 years when i’ll be shopping for a replacement to my pixel 8 I’ll actually have some good options.
SailfishOS has been around since 2013. It’s based on an even older Nokia project (from before they got bought and sold by Microsoft). Since then there has been a number of devices running it. In recent years that’s mostly been the Jolla C2, a rebranded low spec device by Turkish manufacturer Reeder, and certain Sony phones, such as the Xperia V III. The latter doesn’t ship with SFOS but you can purchase a €50 license and install it yourself.
There are also community ports that are unofficial and don’t have all the features (Android app support is missing for example) but run on some other devices. The problem in ARM world is that OS’s need to be tailored to the device (for the most part). It’s not like on intel or amd PCs. So if you want to run it on your Samsung or whatever, then you can do that. It’s just a lot of work.
… notch in 2025
No eSIM, no go for me.
Can’t you get a free card from your carrier?
Yes, but I use eSIM for travel.
Can you explain what that gives you? Sounds interesting
Flexibility and no need to fiddle when I’m on location. I can find the best deals way in advance, activate them and it just works when I land.
I can’t not use them anymore since I’ve started. Mostly convenience.
The phone looks nice but last time I tried Sailfish OS (like 2-3 years ago) it was extremely limited. It lacked even basic things like multi-language keyboard with autocomplete. You had to pay extra to run Android apps. If it’s more usable now it could be an interesting option.
