perhaps this will be one of the keys for success at Jolla. Nokia had a hundred thousand people and they couldn’t keep an OS ‘up go date’. part of the ability and flexiblity of a smaller enitity probably alloows Jolla to do wny things that would never make it out of a design meeting at a larger firm. i feel this is a wonderful story just in a general sense and if the world is looking for ‘role models’ i think there are 80 people at jolla that shouod serve as an inspiration, thanks jolla

Well – it is so very true… They are a little but enthusiastic group, Passionate, dedicated bunch of people, who is committed to create something special and offer it to others – for judgement and evaluation. That tiny bunch deserves our support, respect and admiration. They are #Unlike

“We are so tiny that our company is probably the size of the cleaning department in any of the companies mentioned above.”

Stefano has spent too much time in Finland. He’s catching the falsely self-deprecating humor of Finns .

Yeah, thanks for. This article and for the “movement”. That’s all about why I’m waiting for it so hard. I want to taste that experience. I’m proud to be part of that community. Few people to do great things… Sail on guys!

Very nice article, thank you Mr. Mosconi and JollaTides for posting it. As an N9 user I’d really like Jolla to succeed and bring something incredible to the market. They’ve had an uphill battle from day one and I like rooting for the underdog.

As a fan, it’d be nice to get some additional insight into some of their design decisions. This would really set them aside from the bigger players who have whole PR departments to distort the truth. I think a lot of us have been let down by certain things (no hw qwerty, screen resolution, no sleeping screen) but if Jolla were to come out and explain why things are the way they are, I for one would be much more forgiving. Just knowing that we’ve been heard and that they tried their best but couldn’t accomplish x y and z for whatever reasons would go a long way to accepting and eventually embracing the Jolla handset with all of its limitations.

Blackberry (+7,000 employees) took almost 1.5yrs to produce a handset running BB10. 1.5yrs for a small company of (now) only 80 employees (for a long time only 50) is doing sterling work. And yes we are eagerly anticipating and can’t wait!!

Waiting for my Jolla eagerly. In a business environment like the mobile industry 1,5 years is a long time and kudos to Jolla, the sailors and community for keeping the flame burning even though no device has been delivered yet. It just goes to show how much people want this!
