@cyberlyra@hachyderm.io Just a messenger, but happy to forward the thanks to @jolla@techhub.social
😃 Fantastic to relive a similar vibe from 2013 when the first Jolla Phone was announced.

#Jolla (@jolla@techhub.social) has received the first appearance models of its new #SailfishOS phone. These non-functional models are designed to match the device’s real dimensions, weight, materials, and overall feel. The company reports that the phone feels well balanced in hand and supports comfortable one-handed use.

We get to see the first photos showing the look of the upcoming Jolla Phone 📱🥳 .
