Jolla, formed by old Nokia employees, is now processing pre-orders for their first mobile phone, called simply Jolla, to European customers. Most orders of the device came from its home country – Finland, followed by UK and Germany.
The phone has been on sale less than a week, since November 27 – right on schedule and all 450 units of the phone have been sold out to the most eager customers, who have been following its development from the begining.
When pre-orders are completed the phone will be selling for around €399.
