If it had any marketing power, people would say that also.

  It doesn't have, because no one sane thinks there is some Asia in other sense than geographical, yet many people believe there is some Europe that can have its own smartphone or other alternatives. In all practical ways Jolla is as foreign to Romanian or French person as Apple is, because their domestic officials and institutions have zero control over it the same way they have zero control over Apple. Unless, of course, they are blinded by some big yet empty words of European unity, as many here are.

    This is completely insane. When you go out to eat your friends might express the desire to eat Asian food - that doesn't descrikinate between Japanese, Taiwanese, or Thai food.

      And yet no one goes to eat European food. You just prove that European and Asian has completely different connotations, even if they both has seemingly geographical denotation. First is also used in political context, whereas second isn't. First is used when discussing alternative solutions to US-owned tech and services, and second is not. No one goes out saying that Pad Thai is Asian alternative to freaking spaghetti, and people living across Asia should eat Pad Thai to get some food sovereignty.
