The Jolla phone the first Sailfish OS-touting smartphone was made available for customers across Europe. “Sales of Jolla smartphones are off to a great start and it is time to move on to the next phase by offering a new batch of Jolla smartphones to new customers across Europe,” said the CEO of Jolla, Tomi Pienimäki. But, the journey for Sailfish has just begun, and we are happy to see that Jolla is being very pro-active with its new-found community.

In other words, those of you who have been contemplating the phone and consider it a great me-gift for Christmas can now place an order over at Jolla's official site, but do not expect to see it take a spot under the tree, unless you have pre-ordered it already. New orders are estimated to take between two and three weeks until they reach their new owners, so you may still get one before 2013 is actually done.

Unfortunately, the price tag of 399 euros is a little steep, especially if you are a hardware junkie, as the Jolla phone does not pack bleeding edge specs. Instead, emphasis has been put on the experience, and to that end, the phone has no physical buttons, since Sailfish OS is completely gesture based. Anyway, it would appear that Jolla is off to a good start, with millions of units being shipped, and that's not too surprising the OS looks beautiful.
