Finnish smartphone start-up Jolla will start shipping the first batch of its debut smartphone in its home country on Nov. 27.
Operator DNA is organizing a launch event in central Helsinki where 450 of the people that pre-ordered the device will get it. Other customers who have pre-ordered will get theirs soon after and it will then become generally available next month, DNA said.
Jolla, which means dinghy in Finnish, was founded in 2011 by a group of former Nokia employees who wanted to continue the development work the phone maker had done on the MeeGo operating system.
Its first smartphone is for now just called the Jolla phone and has a 4.5-inch screen, an 8-megapixel back camera and LTE. There is also 16GB of integrated storage, which can be expanded using a microSD card.
