Day 3 at MWC Barcelona, and this show has already exceeded all our expectations.

Yesterday, Minister Lulu Ranne visited our booth. A meaningful moment for a Finnish team bringing a European alternative.

The conversations here have been real. The timing feels right.

Proudly from Finland, the country of the most loved mobile phones ever made. ❤️

@jolla One of the problems upstart operating systems like Sailfish still is despite everything is that there's not enough native software.

Interesting to see if LLMs will fix that by making the creation of software so much easier. Still even with that one of the pain points is that you will need to get at least a few banks in on it, so that good software support (online banks and NFC payments) will be possible natively.

"upstart" is an interesting description, considering I used SailfishOS on a Jolla Phone back around 2014 😉

But you are of course right about the software ecosystem. I don't believe running a Sailfish device without Android app support will be feasible in quite a long time. It was possible more than ten years ago, but not anymore sadly.

I still preodered one and am looking forward to it! Step by Step.

@andi Yeah I had one too.

I suppose I would call Linux an upstart OS (on the desktop) too, even though I started using it in mid 90s.
