After introducing a subscription model for software updates last year, Jolla now says it will offer at least 5 years of free updates for the Jolla C2 which runs a custom Linux-based OS called Sailfish. In light of new EU rules, they may have had little choice. https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/long-term-sailfish-os-updates-free-of-charge-for-all-jolla-c2/23491 #SailfishOS #Jolla #JollaC2

Weekly GNU-like #MobileLinux Update (25/2025): Packed with Goodies
https://linmob.net/weekly-update-25-2025/
This week really was something: #postmarketOS ship 25.06 (which, among other things, adds systemd) and work to reverse-engineer #VoLTE, #FuriOS 13.1.0 lands with Open-Store support (for #UbuntuTouch apps) and plenty of other improvements, #PlasmaMobile share detailed log of all the fixes and improvements they managed to land in the past year (and what's to come), Jolla announce free #SailfishOS updates for all #JollaC2 customers, I managed to interview #Liberux about their Nexx phone - but there's way more still, including a packed Apps section. Enjoy!

Happy Midsummer!
Da questo momento, tutti i possessori di un dispositivo Jolla C2 avranno gli aggiornamenti inclusi nel prezzo d'acquisto, che saranno garantiti per un minimo di 5 anni, fino a quando sarà possibile supportare il telefono
Ricordiamo inoltre che il primo Jolla fu supportato per 7 anni e lo Jolla C per ben 8
l'iniziativa partirà da luglio e varrà per tutti i telefoni C2, inclusi quelli già acquistati, ma per chi volesse, sarà comunque possibile effettuare una sottoscrizione volontaria, in modo da finanziare lo sviluppo del sistema.

Nutze seit Jahren #sailfishos und bin sehr zufrieden. Hatte erst ein #jolla1 dann ein Sony xperia xa2-ultra und jetzt das #jollac2
Oh and still struggling like mad to make my #jollaC2 work on a day to day basis.
I don't think the basic phone hardware is stellar which is not helping.
Anyone else persevering??
Jolla C2 just got a deep dive review from LinuxEasy. They looked past the specs and into what really matters: why this is a true community phone, and how that shows up in daily use.

Mein Jolla C2 hat ja von Anfang an rumgezickt, nun hat es wohl seinen Geist aufgegeben. Akku ist binnen Sekunden leer. 1/2 Jahr alt. Jolla akzeptiert den Garantieanspruch, ich muß es nur nach Finnland schicken. Kostet bei DHL versichert 14,49€. geht ja noch :).
Zum Glück liegt da noch ein Xperia 10 mit SailfishOS rum, das ich neulich ready to use gemacht habe.

My #JollaC2 also took nearly two weeks or so to ship (@jolla replied immediately when I sent them an email asking about the status though), so you indeed might need to be patient.
I am using it for about one week now as my main phone ("daily driver", but I can not replace my iPhone completely with it so far). I posted my experiences a few days ago and while it has some shortcomings one needs to live with at the moment, it also has a few nice features and advantages.
So overall it looks like it might work out for me.
Otherwise though I agree with many of the posts in this thread: People need to buy these phones now to help them move out of their niches. And that of course means that these early-adopters are willing to put up with shortcomings because they are valuing other aspects (like protecting their data) more than the slick, perfect experience e.g. an #iPhone or #Android phones offer.
One reason for #SailfishOS (Jolla's product) not gaining more traction is that apart from their #JollaC2 you can't simply buy a phone with it installed. And if #fairphone (and #shiftphone for that matter) won't do it until these systems gain more traction we're in a vicious circle. So what we need is an idea to get out of this!
How does using the #Jolla #JollaC2 (@jolla) with #SailfishOS for about a week as a daily driver now (with my old #iPhone at home as a backup)?
In general, it works much better than I had hoped after my experiences with other alternative #smartphone systems and it indeed is the first (and so far only) system that indeed works quite well. Also at around 285€ (https://commerce.jolla.com/products/jolla-community-phone) it isn't too expensive, so one can simply try it out.
There are a few limitations though:
* I am really missing biometric unlocking
* There is no predictive text input, so typing could be more comfy
* The UX experience sometimes feels strange (but no no-gos for me)
* It is not a snappy and fast device
* Audio quality is so-so
* GPS really needs a GPS signal, so no WIFI-based location
What is great:
* It is a real #Linux, so it has a #terminal, #sshd, you can e.g. use the #Nix package manager etc.
* Android apps are running in a container
* You can have different users to limit data access
Unfortunately there are nearly no high-quality native apps so far and the built-in ones are very basic (e.g. email).
But: The #Android compatibility layer is very good, the system comes with #Fdroid and #AuroraStore (#Google store front-end) pre-installed, so you can easily install practically all official Android apps.
Most apps work very well, some (especially banking) apps do not though as they complain that the system is rooted, so YMMV regarding the apps you need.
In general I am really happy with this system.
And: All the de-ggoglefied Android phones like the #Volla will always still remain just that: A more limited Android. SailfishOS offers a path towards powerful native (#Qt/#QML/#Cplusplus/#Python/you name it) based apps.
I am hoping that Jolla will provide a significantly more powerful device option and that some of the problems above will be solved.
But already now, even with the limitations above, if you are somewhat technically inclined (but without the need to fiddle with a command line unlike with the open mobile Linux distributions), want to get rid of #Google or #Apple for whatever reason, want a #Linux #smartphone, support a #European company from #Finland, this phone is really usable.
