Earlier this year a Tunisian group called DawnDrums SARL revealed their initial plans to build a Linux-friendly smartphone called the Divine D. with a 5.5 inch AMOLED display, a Rockchip RK3588S processor, and an open source design.

#LinuxPhone

El nou Jolla Linux Phone es fabricarà perquè l'objectiu mínim necessari de 2.000 reserves s'ha superat amb escreix (2.602 reserves ja).
Aquest mòbil no tindrà el català de fàbrica però es podrà instal·lar a voluntat. Hi ha un plataforma de traducció que està ara mateix al 63%, els ajudem? 💪

#advicewanted #linuxphone #foss

No sé ni per on començar; li vull explicar a la meva parella (analògica) que acabo de comprar un mòbil #LinuxPhone i no sé; ni el color, tamany ni quan m'arribarà i si m'hi entendré, i em diu: —Si és per col·laborar alguna cosa "d'aquestes de les teves" jo també en vull un.

Habemus Jolla Linux Phone!

@nixCraft looks really promising and I can't wait to get it! I'm quite happy with my C2 #linuxphone - but there are some things it's missing. Things that the new phone is now addresses!
