It is not innocent like this. In this context European is not simply used as a geographical designation of origin.
No one says that Samsung or Huawei phones are Asian alternatives to iPhone.

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.
