Frank Paul SilyeThis is going great! The September batch on Jolla J2 Community Phone is already a 101% booked with preorders! https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-phone-sept-26
@jolla today posted more technical data about their upcoming community phone. It will ship with the SoC iMediatek Dimensity 7100 (MT6858). Jolla got their very first functional samples (“CNC sample”) and it booots #SailfishOS. And guess what, The Other Half is happening!!!

Jolla Phone update - lights on, technical bits and the schedule
Hi there, Time for a Jolla Phone update. And it is booting up! As of late last week we got very first functional samples (we call it “CNC sample”) completed with the real mechanics, electronics, the SoC, modem, user-replaceable battery and everything together. Very quickly from there we organised a two-day hackday in Tampere to pull it together, and happy to note that as a result we got it now booting up to the beautiful Sailfish UI! Wow! Technica...
1.500 preorders to go. We are getting closer and closer to @jolla J2 Phone. A phone developed with the Sailfish Community. A phone with privacy and user friendliness as main focus.
There has not only been a high demand for the upcoming J2 phone, also the C2 phone has been popular. @jolla just announced the C2 as out of stock as the batch of preorders is sold out: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/jolla-c2-out-of-stock/27573
It is still possible to preorder the J2 phone!
Jolla C2 out-of-stock
Greetings, The Q4/25 production batch of Jolla C2 Community Phone has been sold out and the product has turned out-of-stock in Jolla shop. Due to exceptionally high memory prices combined with extended delivery times from our supplier partner Reeder, and their key component vendors, we have decided not to order a new batch for now but remain waiting how the market develops. Forecasting the key components market is utmost challenging at the moment. If you have placed an order of Jolla C2 Commun...

My first impression of the Jolla Phone appearance models
Warning: this is a lengthy post. I can be quiet and reserved until you ask me to talk about something that I’m passionate about, then I can talk (write) for days. This is one of those wordy occasions. TL;DR - overall 8.5/10 for the size, weight, materials, feel in hand, ergonomics, looks, etc. (May bump it up to a 9 when weight is finalized with a functioning proto, more details below.) Just the external stuff. It’s not perfect, but I like it very much! Preface: a few of you may know me, but m...
Hot, hot, hot!
Jolla has just released the first photos of a dummy phone with the actual size and feel. Now we know how the Do It Together (DIT) Linux phone actually will look like!
Head over the Sailfish Community forum for a look!

Jolla Phone update - Design & appearance models
Hi there, Exciting times, we’ve just got the first appearance models of the new Jolla Phone to our hands and want to share it with you! In particular having the product at hand and feeling the actual physical size & dimensions has been an important moment we’ve been eagerly waiting. That’s why we create at this phase of the project so called “appearence models” with the real dimensions, weight, materials and feel as-close-as-possible to the actual device. So not to confuse: the appearance mode...
I hope new Norwegian users on the #SailfishOS will enjoy the translations, and I encourage others to translate the software they use to their language as a warm welcome of all the new community members we will get later this year when the new European Do It Together (DIT) Linux phone arrives:

wow 110 years! Is that maybe in base-3? I've been using Sailfish OS since 2012 and that's only 13+ years (base-10) :)
It's not Sailfish OS I have a problem with, it's the C2 hardware. Under powered, too big (especially for my small hand trying to use the cool sfos gestures), and horrible camera. I should go back to my Fxtec Pro1 except it's currently in a boot loop and I haven't fixed it. I'm also waiting for the #nextgenjollaphone which looks promising.
Antti@Muppensish that is apparently most polished port currently! I was thinking the same, but I am too hesitant to flash the phone myself. Much easier to wait for the #nextgenjollaphone . I was considering the C2 also, but I don't think that could serve my daily needs as well
Jolla today shared some awesome news on the hardware in the upcoming phone! The news update came just after 6.000 phones had been preordered.

Next gen Jolla Phone update - 12/25
Seasonal greetings, Time for a monthly update after Next gen Jolla Phone update - 11/25. As noted here and there, the start of the new Jolla Phone project has been amazing and we have just this morning passed 6,000 pre-orders! A bit of Call-to-Action for us all here. While the 6k mark is an outstanding achievement by now, we have set the next target to 10,000 units by end of January, 2026 and to unlock the new TOH. We need your help on achieving that. We are planning to introduce a referra...
