MeeGos Saviour Heads To China: Jolla Signs Deal With Chinese Retailer D.Phone
Jolla Mobile -- Meego's saviour in the making -- is certainly ambitious, perhaps insanely so. The Finnish startup made up of a crack team of ex-Nokians is already committed to release not one but two Meego-powered smartphones, launching a new handset brand along the way. It's early days, of course, the company doesn't even have its own website yet, but today news comes of a tie-up with Chinese mobile phone retailerD.Phone that begins to hint at how this might just work.First announced via a tweet (what's a startup to do without a website), Jolla has signed a 'Sales and Distribution agreement' with D.Phone Group, the largest mobile phone retail chain in China with 2,000 stores, targeting Chinas 150 million-strong smartphone market which Jolla hopes to penetrate. D.Phone also works closely with carriers China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/g4anxjdQ9uw/
