After a long silence in X, @JollaHQ is back. And we're bringing something Europe desperately needs.

The Jolla Phone: Europe's independent smartphone running #SailfishOS 5.

In 2013, when we founded Jolla from @nokia MeeGo’s ashes, people called us naive. "You can't compete with iOS and Android," they said. They were right about one thing: we weren't trying to compete. We were building an alternative.

Today, that alternative matters more than ever.

Every Android phone, every iPhone — they all phone home to California. Your data, your habits, your conversations: processed, analyzed, stored on someone else's terms. GDPR promised European digital sovereignty. But what good are data protection laws when your entire digital life runs on American infrastructure?

This isn't about nationalism. It's about choice. It's about owning your device instead of renting it. It's about a phone that respects you enough to give you:
• Sailfish OS 5 — the only commercially viable European mobile OS
• A physical privacy switch (kill camera/mic when you want)
• A replaceable battery (remember those?)
• Android app compatibility (because we're practical)
• No Google Play Services siphoning your data

We spent 12 years in the wilderness, keeping Sailfish OS alive through die-hard community support. While the mobile OS graveyard filled with names like Symbian, MeeGo, Firefox OS and Windows Phone — we survived.

Now there are only four commercially viable mobile operating systems left in the world and only one is from Europe:
• iOS (US)
• Android (US)
• HarmonyOS (China)
• Sailfish OS (Europe) ⭐️

This comeback isn't driven by investors or quarterly targets. It's driven by something simpler: We just love building products that actually deserves to exist. No fake-it-until-you-make-it. Just engineering, iteration, and a belief that Europe needs its own mobile platform.

The phone pre-order launches today at https://t.co/k5Eizb3tdu. 5G, dual-SIM, 12GB RAM, replaceable covers in Snow White, Kaamos Black, and The Orange (yes, THAT orange — nostalgia included).

If you believe #Europe should have alternatives to #BigTech, if you're tired of being the product instead of a respected customer, if you remember what it felt like when phones were tools instead of surveillance devices — this is for you.

We're not naive. We're just stubborn.
Welcome back, Jolla. 🇪🇺

No better time than a week off work to refactor the wlroots hwcomposer backend used in @droidianlinux - adding external output support in the process!

@thefxtec Pro1 becomes a nice little laptop, powered by Debian 🚀

Facebook admitted this week that they track your location even when you’ve turned off location tracking — and then sell that data to advertisers.

Your data is your property. Tech companies should absolutely not be allowed to use it without your permission.

*beautiful looking apps*

but no. #jolla is *unlike*. they prefer shit looking gui apps. After looking at new messaging app gui i started wondering if i didn't download some shitty community app. And not reachable button in top bar instead of pulldown menu. What idiot did this?

20 years of progress:

1999: IRC, ICQ, AIM, YIM

Early 2000s: gaim (nee Pidgin, and other libpurple clients like Adium) provide unified UX across IM protocols

2019: We all run 15 chat apps again. Slack has nothing to do with J.R. Bob Dobbs, or Discord with Eris.

[F(x)tec @thefxtec]

@Ahjolinna @JollaHQ Yes we would like to work with Sailfish developers and share our device so that it can be ported. Please contact us at [email protected]

@Nokiapoweruser releasing anything with name Nokia 9 without option to get #SailfishOS on it is pure deny of legacy...
