Just yesterday we’ve shown you the first Jolla Sailfish demo video and today we’re glad to report that the company has cornered first mobile operator to sell their smartphones when these enter the market – it’s the Finland-based DNA.

Jolla’s VP of Sales, Sami Pienimäki, is enthused about the news and here’s what he had to say for the occasion: “We target to have a network of partners around Sailfish during the coming year. We are partnering up with operators, for example, to benefit from their solid knowhow in retail and distribution. As a forerunner brand in Finland, DNA is a great partner for Jolla. DNA also has a strong retail stores chain, which ensures the availability of the upcoming Jolla smartphone and other future devices.”

Unfortunately, we still don’t know when the first Jolla smartphone will be released but we’ll make sure to spread the news the second we get it…

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
