[wraggster]

Jolla (https://join.jolla.com/en), the Finnish company that continued Nokia's work on the MeeGo mobile platform, announced details of its first smartphone on Monday (http://gigaom.com/2013/05/20/armed-with-android-app-support-jollas-e399-phone-launches-by-year-end/). Availability for the Jolla device is expected by year end and can be pre-ordered now; the phone will be priced at no more than €399 (US $512.26). The Jolla hardware looks similar to that of Nokia's Lumia, with a clean, button-less front face that houses the 4.5-inch touchcscreen. The phone will use a dual-core processor and support 4G LTE in some regions. Internal storage tops out at 16 GB, but can be expanded via microSD card. The phone also includes an 8 megapixel rear camera with auto focus. The phone is also 'Android app compliant' which, in a move similar to that of BlackBerry, can help with available apps at launch.
