I finally got my Jolla Tablet (and the LastuCase).
The tab is great! But I waited a very long time for it. The LastuCase smells a bit weird.

Build your own Smartphone
Building your own Smartphone? That could be a great hobby project. One way to do it could be to use a Raspberry Pi and use the Sailfish OS. In this video, Aleksi Suomalainen shows you what he has done.
I downloaded the Sailfish image from the Sailfish on Raspberry Pi2 blog. It worked for me. But not as good as I wanted it to. It is still a bit immature.
My intention was not to build a Smartphone anyway. I just wanted to see if I could use the Sailfish OS on the Raspberry Pi for something else.
But building your own Smartphone is a very cool project that could be done for less than $ 100. Not that you want to carry around the brick that you have built or that it would save you any money. It is just a cool thing that you can build.
Jolla Tablet
Jolla is making a tablet with Sailfish OS. They are using crowd-funding at Indiegogo. Order now to get the best prices.
The 1000 first sold out within an hour! I got one of them.
I have a Jolla
I have a Jolla smartphone. I have had it since it was made available in Sweden. I unboxed it December 23, 2013. I am still happy with it.
It uses the Sailfish OS that is based on Linux. I can run Linux commands in a shell window. The phone can run android apps, but there are also lots of useful Jolla apps. Now I am just waiting for the perfect The Other Half with a keyboard.
