Jolla Phone (October 2026)

Stuff gets put together in Finland to form the final device they ship, even if the parts aren't made in Finland. I think a dictionary lookup for "assemble" might help if this explanation did not.

What does "Assembled in Finland" mean?

the pieces of the phone are put together in the country of finland

Yes, but which pieces are put together there and which are already assembled elsewhere?

I read it as "how much is actually assembled in Finland versus arriving pre-assembled?"

What does their website say?

Exactly this (when nitpicking the phrasing). Is putting the finished unit in the box "assembly" of the delivered product?

OTOH, I'm not sure how much it matters. Apple products are "designed in California" (which is a bit of a lie to begin with), and very much assembled overseas.

Of more interest is how few units they've pre-sold compared to mainstream phones. I wish them well, but I doubt they'll change history.

I hope Ubuntu Touch has native support for this, as it's a great OS with massive potential and active community.

If this Sailfish phone is 700 and Commodore's is 500, I know which Sailfish device I can pay attention to.
