Hey sailors,

So my suggestion/idea is that Jolla make a Jolla Phone 2nd generation or if it goes after apples name schema jolla phone s. Just a hardware upgrade, what I mean is that the phone would get a new SoC, a higher screen resolution and maybe a bit more RAM, but the whole design and such stuff stays the same, so all TOHs would be compatible and so on. The reason why I really think they should do that is because of their new tablet. Okay I will explain that. The crowd funding is a giant success, at this point 200% reached, so it will be featured in articles on many big tech sites (Engadget, Verge,...) so many people, which never heard of Jolla and Sailfish before will see that it is actually going somewhere and quite big. So now these people look at the funding page and think: wow, great specs and nice looking OS. These people now go to the Jolla.com website and see : oh there is also a phone, maybe it's worth. And here comes my point, the people will look at the phone and maybe think beautiful design very #unlike but then they look at the specs and there comes the problem they see quite low specs with not even a HD screen, which is standard I would say, and only a dual core CPU. These are very, very low specs for a flagship device today. These people won't buy the phone. HHere could Jolla get, if they make an updated phone, many new customers and a new "market" I would call it.

I think everyone would benefit from that but it's only my personal opinion.

Sail on

100% agree! It will nice if the hardware is similar like the tablet, its enough. But more feature is needit, like FM Radio, LPS Mode, maybe IR. USB Host.

I kind of was hoping for a 2nd gen phone yesterday, but honestly, much more happy with a tablet (finally getting over to the tablet world). However, the current phone is tempting, but considering hardwarespecs/price, it's not really that good. I would love to see a proper crowdsourced flagship device from you, that can be on the top in the industry and that would definitely be what makes me change my phone (I really want sailfish and just don't have the guts to port it to my Note 2 yet).

However, I do believe Jolla would be best of waiting until after the tablet is out, then announcing two phones (one lighter-spec phone and one all-in flagship). Just a dream, maybe?

I prefer a bigger capacity of battery, more ram. The size of phone is around 4" to 4.5".
