Say "hola!" to the independent Finnish phone company, Jolla, and its new eponymous smartphone of the same name.

Now, if you're an American who is interested in this phone, there is a bit of tough luck there. This company does not sell in stores and the device can only be found online in Europe, but if you can get it sent stateside, it should work with AT&T and T-Mobile (or other GSM carriers).

For 349€ (roughly $474US), you can behold this beautiful two-toned device which includes an 8 megapixel AF camera with LED flash and 2 megapixel front-facing camera, LTE connectivity, and the first device to run on Sailfish OS, which is capable of running Android apps à la the BlackBerry's OS10.
