Dillon Flashes Orange Handset @ GMIC 2013
As predicted in an earlier post, we are getting reports that during Marc Dillon’s keynote @ GMIC 2013, he cleverly teased the audience with what looked like the back of the new Jolla branded handset.
Engadget reports that:
It was very brief — no more than two seconds — but the orange device appeared to be no smaller than five inches in screen size.
In another article by digitaltrends, the significance of this first flash of the Jolla phone being in Beijing is reiterated:
There is some significance to Dillon showing the phone at the Global Mobile Internet Conference in Beijing too, as Jolla sees China as a significant market for Sailfish hardware.

Interestingly, Engadget seem to think the handset is on the large side being ‘no smaller than 5 inches in screen size’, putting it in ‘phablet’ territory. Whether or not this could be accurate after such a brief flash from afar is anyones guess?
The 20/05 date which has been ‘hinted’ at by CTO Stefano Mosconi looks unchanged as the official full reveal date for the new handset, although this of course could be subject to change and we’ll be sure to keep you updated.
What this does confirm is there is certainly at least one orange coloured Sailfish based, Jolla branded handset in the wild with estimates for size being +/- 5 inches and that alone is enough to get the adrenaline pumping.
Until next time – Sail On….

I think folks at engadget didn’t take on count that it could just have orange casing meaning the phone can be about 4.5 – 5 inch and any colour possible. I think it should be smaller…
