According to the company said on Twitter: "La Jolla-based smartphones will have a bright new future." Reach the market later this year.

In front of Jussi stands Hurmola Jolla, ultimate responsibility of Meegan. Still have offered more evidence on the characteristics of the new smartphones or on its market price.
