At the moment I don't think that Jolla could offer the phone in USA even if they wanted. They couldn't afford the MS, Apple, Qualcomm, Motorola, et al. license fee shitstrom.

Lets not forget Nokia's Advances Technologies, that is: "looking for new business opportunities," "continuing to research and develop concepts involved in connectivity, sensing and material technologies".
It sounds like Nokia looking to continue and maybe focus on its nano technology and graphene. Graphene study where it leads in Europe and was granted 1.35 billion dollars to study last year.
Having a software platform for lets say wearable tech sounds reasonable and example HERE car platform is already being build on Qt. .
I also hopes that Jolla can use some of nokia stuff like maps on Jollaphone and so on...
I just wait for digia stocks to raise upwards on this area

Oh, did I mention that it's all free? :-) Dev would be expensive though - routing implementation, OSM format handling and so forth. You basically need to create a maps application*, just like Nokia's.
* Apple/Google don't have a maps application, they have a pseudo browser with a cache. Total rubbish. I love the fact that you can search for an address in Nokia Maps even in Airplane Mode.

The whole point of Nokia buying Jolla is moot anyway.
MS-Nokia deal excludes Nokia from entering phone business until 2016. So, unless Nokia sees huge business opportunity in selling Jolla t-shirts and beanies for the next 3 years, there would not be any point in it.

But yeah, chances of that happening is below 1%.
OPK said on a interview that Nokia's special sauce will likely reside and developing materials. Only hint at Nokia doing some kind of consumer hardware at some point comes out from keeping HERE.

- 45 in uncompressed PBF
- about 400 GB in uncompressed XML

It already works on Fremantle, Harmattan, Android, BB10 and other platforms and I will also support Sailfish soon. ModRana also already supports offline routing (with spoken turn-by-turn directions) using Monav and processed OSM data.

It takes around two years to make a new phone model, as we have seen in Windows Phones and Jolla. So Nokia should start soon!

will there be another pre-order for international customers?
Patent portfolio so big that nothing could stop Sailfish with patent litigation. At the moment I don't think that Jolla could offer the phone in USA even if they wanted. They couldn't afford the MS, Apple, Qualcomm, Motorola, et al. license fee shitstrom.
