I don't particularly see the point of this. At least not the transparent 'developer programme' / 'community device' stuff. Also seems like a poor value prospect when you'll be able to import the identical Intex device for significantly less (and with a proper warranty - albeit at distance - presumably).

Only way it makes sense is to gauge interest ahead of a possible larger run.

It does serve one useful purpose for the remnants of the community, though. We now know that Intex availability is aimed at July ... but as this is Jolla, that probably means December.

Frankly, I'm amazed Intex have stuck with them.

The only thing I'm really concerned with is that now we know C / Intex have a quad core, if they'll fix Sailfish to actually be able to use 2 cores or more properly. If not, they might as well have specified a dual core, as the extra 2 cores would be useless for all tasks except Alien Dalvik based ones.
