The Jolla smartphone is now official, priced at €399

Finnish startup Jolla has announced its first smartphone, which shows off its Sailfish OS on a 4.5-inch screen.

Jolla, which was founded by a former Nokia employees who wanted to continue the development work the Finnish phone maker had done on the MeeGo OS, is with the introduction one big step closer to entering the ultra-competitive smartphone

The LTE-smartphone -- which is just called Jolla, for now -- is powered by a dual-core processor and has an 8-megapixel camera. It also has 16GB of integrated storage which can be expanded using an SD card.

Perhaps more usefully, the Sailfish operating system will also be Android app compliant out of the box,

R4k is not too bad for an LTE phone.

What about apps and so on?

When do you expect to get it?

Open source so apparently Android apps are able to be ported over as Jolla is Linux based itself.

Looks cool, but I don't think that Jolla will last too long... It just doesn't make me think: "Holy ****, I need!" like Android and WP devices does.

I wonder if I can get royalties from them for stealing my nick

Apparently no porting is required on this phone, it runs native android apps.
