I've read some Finnish articles about Jolla lately.
CEO Tomi Pienimäki said the global phone market is huge, so Jolla doesn't have to be for everyone. They are targeting a market segment, however it can't be just a "nerd thing", a right balance is needed.
(Mobiili.fi 19/Dec/2013)
Can we expect a new phone from Jolla in 2014? Tomi Pienimäki replied: "Clearly devices have a limited lifespan. I guess you could say it's probable. We do have plans for that."
(Mobiili.fi 19/Dec/2013)
I also liked this quote from co-founder Sami Pienimäki:
"Thanks to Nokia, a great amount of mobile sector know-how was born here, be it engineering, industrial design, marketing, sales or product development. This must be treasured. It's a responsibility for us all."

Jolla will have some kind demo space in MWC.
http://wpsailors.com/2014/01/10/joll...nokia-and-nsn/
I wonder if there will be any announcement? I can understand that they simply want a demo area in such a large expo to get more attention towards them. It's not like it's easy for many outside Europe to test the device.

I still doubt there is a second Jolla phone. Now if it come something 2014(unrelated to MWC) its probadly just upgrade. Lets say 2Gb RAM instead of 1 or 32Gb MMC instead of 16.
But what they will demo on MWC is probadly not a phone. Maybe some OTH stuff? Lets hope
But most people does not buy a phone in a online shop

Weren't they talking to operators in the UK anyway? I wonder what came out of that... maybe they are watching them perform, which Jolla is doing very well IMO.

Bear in mind that in China they may aim primarily at installing Sailfish on Android devices - and yes, this is for them, not for us, maybe the community can derive from that, but I don't know ;-)
Lastly, cash is very important - if Jolla can self sustain themselves, it means that the VC's can't say much about their precious ROI and they can have a fair amount of freedom (read: they won't be forced to hire an "Elop" type CEO). They should, of course, think about growing, meaning bringing in more investment and the like.
