alt Hacker NewsWhat does full-stack mean here? Phone is fully produced in Europe? Software and online storage fully provided by European company?
edit: I want this phone, I have reserved a slot in the coming batch.
Just posing as an average Joe here, someone who does not host their own storage, calendar, contacts, phone tracking, remote wipe, the "free" features Google and Apple are known for on their phones.

The previous Jolla C2 phone was built by Reeder in Turkey - they don't seem to say anything about the new phone
When I first read the headline I thought all hardware components are European as well. Seems like it's referring to the software stack only.
Apparently "full-stack alternative" means "layered on top of Android" these days, as Jolla does with libhybris.
Usually 'full stack' just means software. Here it means a true Linux phone (Sailfish OS) plus Android compatibility with sandboxing. The C2 model is made in Turkey from Asian parts. The new phone is manufactured in Asia, but the final assembly, QA, and software flashing are done in Finland.
This isn't for people with a consumer mindset. It’s for people who want a Linux computer in their pocket, more privacy, and still want to run some Android apps.
