An OS may be soon the missing link of Nokia new strategy. Don’t only think phone but global. And the given story is also that Jolla is a kind of spin off funded by Nokia. Don’t you find that Jolla seems not in a hurry to win market shares but just experimenting things? Do you remember that famous plan B? I’m speculating but who knows?

It was stipulated in the contract (if memory serves) that Nokia would not be able to release a Nokia branded handset until the end of 2015. MS do have the option to license the Nokia name for 10yrs if they want but as stated, they are considering alternative brand names for future handsets.

In theory if Nokia decide to dabble in mobile technology once again, we could well see a Nokia branded handset after the end of 2015… the question is given the history, could Sailfish be the OS of choice for this theoretical “Nokia” phone ?

Concerning the smatphone (like Lumia) Microsoft could no longer use the name “Nokia” after the end of 2015. So from january 1st, 2016 Nokia could deliver a brand new smartphone with is own name. With is new strategy (connected objects, navigation, I-VI, networks…) Nokia will only lack an OS while Jolla whould have brought Sailfish-Mer-Meego-Maemo to full maturity at that time.

Why do we need WP devices at all?

Absolutely nothing.

The problem is that ever since the iphone came on the market it all went downhill. Apple showed the world that it was perfectly acceptable to release a half-baked featureless piece of crap as long as the public perceives it as being a “high-end product”. Gone was the call-recorder (available on every SE and Nokia featurephone), gone was MMS (at first), gone was a proper file file-manager, gone was full 2 way bluetooth transfer, gone was full wifi connectivity, gone was privacy. And now things are even worse.

All those new OS’s coming about all inheriting the same flaws and all without the features that we once took for granted. All a bunch of morons re-inventing the wheel all over again and again and again. If this is progress then please gimme back an old SE K750i. I don’t want to trade in local syncing for a bigger screen! I don’t want to trade in full BT-transfer and call recording for LTE! Get 3,5G availability everywhere instead because all that bloody LTE bandwidth is only gonna be used for advertising anyway. It’s just a way sell more data-plans to hijack more customers on the brand or OS-depended enforced clouds.

I hoped Jolla would be different but alas. They are allo hunting down to get the telco-contracts. To make the telco-deals. Instead of pursuing their own. Instead of trying to sell devices via telcos why don’t Jolla target the computer-stores? Target the geeks, nerds and technophiles because they are ones steering friends and relatives into certain devices. There are other ways to create public awareness through other channels. Stop being so shortsighted. There is a whole other world out there beyond AT&T and T-Mobile.

Less competition, more Samsung or HTC WP8 devices.

Jolla is freedom.
