Four days at MWC Barcelona. The show has exceeded all our expectations. Two weeks ago we were in hackdays. This week we showed devices at world premiere with new software arriving from our Tampere team every single morning, flashed fresh each day. The full story is in this fortnight's community newsletter. Worth a read. 👇 https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/sailfish-community-news-5th-march-2026-mwc-barcelona-2026/28114 Thank you to everyone who has been part of this. Keep sailing. ⛵ #Jolla #SailfishOS #MWC2026 #DigitalSovereignty #CommunityPowered #PrivacyFirst

10,000 pre-orders. Goal reached. We set a goal together. You made it happen. What started as a community wish is now a production reality. The Jolla Phone is happening, shaped by the people who will use it. Thank you. This is what community-driven development looks like. ❤️ Next stop: MWC Barcelona. Come find us. #Jolla #SailfishOS #DigitalSovereignty #European #PrivacyFirst #CommunityPowered

9,500 pre-orders. Thank you. ❤️

9,000 pre-orders. Time to celebrate. 🎉 This is not just a number. It is 9,000 people who chose privacy, independence, and a different kind of phone. People who decided that their data is theirs. People who believe something better is possible. Secure your Jolla Phone at the special batch price before February ends. If you have been considering it, this is the moment. Let's make it together. ❤️ https://jolla.com/phone #Jolla #SailfishOS #DigitalSovereignty #European #PrivacyFirst #Linux #CommunityPowered

The Jolla Phone is booting up! As of late last week we got the very first functional samples completed with real mechanics, electronics, the SoC, modem, user-replaceable battery and everything together.

Very quickly from there we organised a two-day hackday in Tampere to pull it all together. Please see our post in the forum with lively pictures! Enjoy ❤️

Building a foundation for digital independence 🇪🇺🇫🇮🇩🇰

At Jolla, our mission has always been about offering a real alternative. Digital sovereignty is not a slogan for us. It is a prerequisite for a fair, independent, and sustainable digital future.

We are proud to support initiatives across the Nordics that actively work toward these shared values.

•⁠ ⁠In Finland, we support https://digitaalinenitsenaisyys.fi/, advocating for Finnish and European digital solutions that put privacy, trust, and sovereignty first.
•⁠ ⁠⁠In Denmark, we support https://www.digitaluafhaengighed.dk/, an initiative focused on strengthening digital independence and long-term resilience.

We encourage everyone to learn more, take part in the discussion, and support the work being done to safeguard digital independence in Europe.

What a weekend at FOSDEM 2026! 🙌 Thank you to everyone who stopped by to meet the team, try out the Jolla Phone appearance model, and take a look at the latest progress on the community ports. The hands-on feedback on ergonomics and the excitement around the return of The Other Half really meant a lot to us. A special thank you as well to everyone who joined the community meetup at À La Becasse. Good conversations, good company, and a shared passion for Sailfish OS. Seeing so many Birds of a Feather come together in Brussels was a great reminder of what this community is all about. If you want to relive the moments or see more photos from FOSDEM and the meetup, we’ve collected them in this forum thread: 👉 https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/fosdem-2026-sailfish-os-meetup-and-bof/26813/24 You are the heart of Jolla. See you at the next one. ❤️❤️❤️ #FOSDEM2026

Welcome to meet the team, try the new Jolla Phone appearance model at your own hand 👋 and see the latest Sailfish OS community ports ❤️ For a limited time, you can use the discount code FOSDEM2026 at the Jolla Shop and get a free Jolla pipo 🥳 We’re also hosting a community meetup in the evening and would love to see as many of you there as possible.

Shoutout to @LauraMalvoyante 👋 Take a look at Laura’s deep dive on the new Jolla Phone, its specs, design, and most importantly, the question many of you are asking: is this actually up to for daily driving?

When long-time community member @cybette@mastodon.org.uk said the Jolla C2 felt a bit too big for her hands, we didn’t just take notes. We invited her over. She stopped by the office to try the new Jolla Phone appearance models in person.

Her verdict:
“8.5/10 for size, materials, and hand-feel. After handling the sample model for the better part of an hour, I’m apprehensive no more. It fits well in my small-ish hands.” She also notes it may go up to a 9/10 once the final weight and balance are locked in.

⏰ Still 14 hours left to vote.

Just like we defined the next gen Jolla Phone together with the community, we’re now doing the same with The Other Half.

We’ll open up what’s technically possible, you vote on what we should build, and together we design something genuinely unique.

Comments stay open after voting closes, but if you haven’t voted yet, now’s the moment. Every vote counts.

We’ve just got our hands on the first appearance models of the new Jolla Phone. Having the device physically in hand is an important milestone for us, and we wanted to share it with the community. So not to confuse: the appearance model does not have functioning electronics inside yet - actual functional samples are to come down the road later.

🎄 6,000 pre-orders before Christmas. What a pleasant present.🎄 The new Jolla Phone has just passed 6k pre-orders, and it really feels like a shared milestone. Quietly impressive. Very much community-driven. In the latest forum update, we share hardware progress, details on cameras and battery, cellular connectivity configuration and more. There’s also a question to the community about how a future referral program should work, and what kind of rewards would truly make sense. If you have a calm holiday moment between meals and walks, this is a good read. 👉 Join the conversation: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/next-gen-jolla-phone-update-12-25/26509 Warm thanks, and peaceful holidays to everyone building this together ✨ #Jolla #SailfishOS #DeGoogle #european #DigitalSovereignty #CommunityPowered

Today at Slush we are unveiling the new Jolla Mind2 Enterprise AI Server together with Venho and Greenstep.

It brings powerful and fully local AI processing into a company’s own private cloud so that sensitive data never has to leave your control. With support for large open models, private memory structures and local policy controls, organisations can now run real workflows under full EU-level privacy. Greenstep is already piloting the solution.

Full press release (in 🇫🇮 Finnish):
https://www.sttinfo.fi/tiedote/71618197/jollan-uusi-mind2-enterprise-ai-palvelin-mahdollistaa-suvereenin-ja-yksityisen-tekoalyn-yrityksille?publisherId=69817166&lang=fi

Join the unveiling and see the server in action at Slush Helsinki in Greenstep booth 6D2 Nov 19, 2pm and at the Jolla Demo Suite in Holiday Inn Expo throughout the show Nov 19 - 20.

As we head into Slush week, we’re excited to share that something bigger is indeed taking shape at Jolla. Over the past months we’ve worked closely with our community, partners and early pioneers of local-first AI, and now we’re ready to show where this shared effort is leading.

You’ll find us live at Slush with Greenstep, demonstrating how privacy-respecting and truly sovereign AI computing can serve real organisations today. We’ll also be hosting an open community session at the Holiday Inn Expo for anyone who wants to see the work up close, talk with the team, and hear what comes next.

Join us in Helsinki – or follow the updates online – as we take the next steps together.

Ever wondered how to use Google apps on Sailfish OS without giving up your privacy?

Laura's new video walks through installing microG, the open-source alternative to Google’s proprietary services, and shows how it works on the Jolla C2 Community Phone.
