I should be receiving my batch 1 phone sometime this month. Super excited to see how it feels!

Will be interested to see what you think when you get it in hand.

I really want this to be a success, I expect my phone to become shitty this or next year, in terms of battery life.

[–] silmarine@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 1 month ago

Is there going to be another batch? I think I need to jump on this.

[–] yaroto98@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

I want this to be super successful so they release a us/canada version.

Looks like linux phones are finally taking off after the first release in 2017, android notwithstanding.

It isn't the year of the Linux phones yet... Still takes a few more years I think

I googled this, and it's an AI company? Why is anyone here excited about this?

Jolla is trying to ride the AI wave certainly but it's not really "an AI company". The one AI product they offer currently is about running your own limited scope local LLM and the AI part isn't even developed by them.
