I told some people about the phone and raised their interest. Some bought it. So I knew them before, but now they are real life Jolla users ;)

I didn't meet them as Jolla owners.

I made them Jolla owners.

I'm a board member of the Linux Users Group Switzerland and also actively taking part in the community of the Chaos Computer Club Switzerland and we are a bunch of people with Jolla phones and also Tablets. Though the proud Tablet owners have yet to receive theirs.

We even held a SailfishOS Users meeting in our Hackerspace of the CCCZH, the Roeschtibach.

Here is a photo from my birthday party held last year end of November.

Some time ago I was in a bar and took my Jolla out of my pocket when the guy next to me went like "YOU have a JOLLA?!" and at the same time his girlfriend went like "Oh my god, he and his Jolla... I think the evening is over...". So yes, it does happen that you run into a Jolla-owner. And I don't even live in Finland.

Well, I got my Jolla for free from one of the first ones. He said he wasn't ready for a phone with next to nil apps. That was my first contact that right away turned into a non Jolla owner. Later I met this (lady) project manager who said that Jolla is a good icebreaker with customers. Later I bought a Jolla to another lady friend of mine as a gift.

So out of the three people I know using Jolla one gave his away and two are ladies.

Discovered Jolla the day they went live with their first phone in May (?) 2013. I was in class and of course tinkering with my tablet instead of following the lesson ;)
I remember saying to my friend something along the lines of «well, this is really cool». He eventually got one a year later, and I followed after some months.

Also another friend bought one recently, but he doesn't use it as first phone.

Unfortunately I haven't casually strumbled upon other users. Except of course at the meetup with Mosconi in Rome last year, but ironically there I was one of the few without a Jolla :)
