Two pieces of computing history just met.

[malveus@mastodonsweden.se]

@jolla nice ... but ... whatsApp? No.

[bruno@mamot.fr]

@jolla now we want Sailfish OS on something like Sidephone https://www.sidephone.com/

[niksii@mementomori.social]

@raketti Same. First got excited but then I saw the price and I can forget this phone. @jolla

[alsvha@sunny.garden]

@jolla This seems interesting. Gonna keep an eye on it.

[ay@m.indefinitely.social]

@jolla Built-in FM radio! I'm sold

[smyru@social.vivaldi.net]

@malveus I would assume, you shall be able to delete it. @jolla

[minus9@hachyderm.io]

@jolla Just seen the price

[proprietedusage@eldritch.cafe]

@jolla why so expansive

[sl@pleroma.envs.net]

@jolla@techhub.social I would have preferred proper qwerty keyboard. But using the only European mobile OS is a plus.

[mojojo@troet.cafe]

@jolla A bit overpriced, but nice.

[me@joshuastrobl.social]

@jolla Congrats on the partnership. Looking forward to seeing how this turns out!

[richlv@mastodon.social]

@smyru @malveus @jolla Makes the "privacy designed in" a bit shaky

[animeandvisial@mastodon.social]

@jolla Not sure about the blocking web browser and social media part, just let the user do whatever they want. I have no problem with that as the default setting, just let the user unlock it later on. Do not act like the parent of the user.

[pixeldorf@mstdn.social]

@jolla omg

[d1@autistics.life]

@jolla will it run #Deltachat? #FDroid?

[themipper@mastodon.social]

@jolla the more #sailfishos powered devices the better!

And now: Can I get my #Amiga phone with a blackberry type keyboard? All in Amiga styling and plastic?

[carlosarm@mastodon.social]

@themipper @jolla looks nicestalgic idk.. creamy groovy, but i think gonna cost a high price for the rare and no everybody knows that retro hardware

[smyru@social.vivaldi.net]

@richlv Yeah, I get your point. I was surprised myself, too. @malveus @jolla

[themipper@mastodon.social]

@CarlosARM @jolla yeah, but would probably not cost more than the commodore phone itself. And if people remember commodore than they surely will remember the Amiga.

[golemwire@social.golemwire.com]

@jolla@techhub.social @AnimeAndVisial@mastodon.social They allow "sideloading" of APKs, actually, which run in some sort of Android-compatible container. I hope you're right, though Peri Fractic's article on the Callback seems to suggest it is actually locked-down.
Hopefully it'll be "rootable", so there's at least some way for the user to exercise control. That's just fundamental.
