How to get in touch with Jolla? [answered]
asked 2017-11-11 18:13:25 +0300
I'm an investor and entrepreneur and started the evaluation of the appropriate plattform for a planned product. SailfishOS seems to me very interesting because of a cutting edge user experiance and respect of the user's privacy. Other platform I evaluate are Android and Plasma Mobile. The last one seems to be in a very early stage and disqualified for business. I even couldn't make it running on the listed reference device.
The first concact with Jolla has been promising but the response of my question followed with a huge delay. Now, I lost the contact after my callback. Has someone an idea, how to contact Jolla? The homepage has no phone number. If the product wouldn't be so awesome I would stop my effords and would go ahead with Android for prototyping.
Maybe Jolla has changed their business strategy and tries to sell SailfishOS directly. I'm asfraid. that Sailfish X is perfect for postential partners, developers, journalists and some early adopters with tecnnical education, but as an after makret product not scalable. Maybe Jolla only speaks with the large device brands and not with entrepreneurs. I would understand it but also regret it. Somehow, Jolla reminds me of the strategy of Cyanogen Inc. Hopefully the company will not end the same way. Has someone indisghts into the strategy of Jolla?
They have offices in both Helsinki (address Fredrikinkatu 42) and Tampere (address Kalevantie 2) where you could drop by easily.
Telephone to the switchboard seems to be +358 20 735 3555
juiceme ( 2017-11-11 18:30:30 +0300 )editwell first of i would stop calling myself entrepreneur ;) Nowadays its just a buzzword every school dropout likes to tell instead of beeing unemployed - nothing different then the waitress in LA who when she's at a party tells she's an actress. I for myself don't take anyone serious who gives himself that title.
But guess thats not what you asked - so juicemes answer probably will do better.
about plasma mobile - you should try the purism forum - and also we got some kde developers running around here. Also in my opinion currently jolla is not qualified for use as a business phone. In fact i wrote about my experience in that field here and am still using a second (android) phone for that case.
kaktux ( 2017-11-11 18:39:27 +0300 )edit@juiceme Thanks, that was the answer I looked for. I will try to call Jolla on Monday or Wednesday. I would also appreciate to meet a representative of Jolla in person, but I would schedule a meeting first, before I fly to FInnland.
@katux: How would you call a person, who did found serveral companies with employees, customers and profit? It's an entrepreneur, isn't it? Investors, empleyees, freelancers and entrepreneurs, which have found or bought shares of companies, are all players of the game.
