Jolla preparing to announce first device in May, those who pre-order to get a “special edition”

Jolla, the Finnish company founded by ex-Nokia top level employees, is preparing a huge announcement in May where it will officially unveil its first device. Pre-orders are expected to kick off shortly after with proceedings from pre-orders used as funding for delivering the actual device.

Jolla is building up on the Nokia N9 and MeeGo foundation. Their device “will represent modern Scandinavian design” and run on the Sailfish operating system.

Jolla is trying to stir up excitement about its upcoming smartphone and promises special and unique features to those who pre-order first.

“We want Jolla to be a movement. We want to involve fans already in early phases. Fans make sure that phone will be available and fans will be first ones to get their phones,” said Antti Saarnio of Jolla.
