Jolla Phone update - The Other Half spec
Hi there, As we promised upon The Other Half Returns — Community Innovation Program we’ll open source the hardware and software interface specs so anyone can design, 3D-print, or produce their own modules. As of today, we just published initial Jolla Phone The Other Half (TOH) spec to Jolla Phone TOH | Sailfish OS Documentation Now we can start tinkering what kind of innovation we, as Sailfish Community, can do together. The idea is that spec evolves in the docs.sailfishos.org and for softwar...
It’s getting closer and closer to the Release Party in July, and here is a fantastic (p)review done by Joshua (@me) of the upcoming Jolla J2 Community Phone: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/first-impressions-of-the-new-jolla-phone-cnc-sample/28729?u=frankps
First Impressions of the new Jolla Phone (CNC Sample)
Hey all! I was lucky enough to be invited to the Jolla office in Tampere, get a tour of the space, take a look at some functional CNC samples of the new Jolla Phone (or as we all call it, the J2), and help with recording some videos that should hopefully be used for marketing 🙂 This is my short first impressions of the device in written form, though in a bit more depth than what I covered in some videos I recorded for Jolla. I want to seriously emphasize, this is not even a p...
Carol ChenSo great catching @me briefly at @jolla - it's been too long!
Watch his space... I think there's gonna be some cool stuff coming! I can't wait 😆
This 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...
