Marc Dillon: Teases Latest Prototype Build
It appears that the latest Jolla prototype has just reached the hands of Jolla’s head of software development, Marc Dillon, who was proudly showing it off on Twitter yesterday evening.
Marc who was originally responsible for product delivery and was brought in as CEO after Jussi Hurmola to further focus on getting the first Jolla phone fit for production is quite rightly feeling like a proud father evidenced by his recent tweet:
I feel great, got the next build of Jolla device into my hand today, two years after we had the idea. It is fantastic! #sailfish #jolla

The new photo shortly followed and shows the top edge of the latest prototype with what looks like an etched ‘jolla’ signature and you can also clearly see the power button/volume rocker has been moved to the top right side of the handset as new recent renders have also suggested:
@MarcDillonDotFi @JollaMalaysia Looks like the 'jolla' signature on the side is engraved now ? Looking sweet! :-)

Looks like the back is a bit round, something like in Lumia 920. And the side with the lock button seems to have a little angle too, maybe. Looks great for ergonomics stand point!
Dual SIM would be fantastic. So tired orf carrying two devices…no premium devices offer this functionality. Would be something!
Does anyone know if the Jolla Phone will be dual sim? I know it was potentially the case but from the public specs its does not say.
Do it:
Well
Fast
Cheap
In that order.
Finally the buttons are on the correct side. Can’t wait to get my hands on the device.
