Your concerns are understood, but there is more to it than just payment issues (which we thought at first that it only was that) but at least for the first release we won’t have the availability for USA and Canada market. No promises for later releases either but we will definitely work on the issues."

As a US based enthusiast waiting from the beginning of Jolla, this is a gut punch. I'm resigned that i may never own a fully featured Sailfish device, fine.

Can't wait to see what last second limitations are imposed on Chen's devices. I can't imagine whatever is hosing this for the US on the Xperia wouldn't do the same for his stuff.

Right there with you. When I read the thread I just shook my head. The community port works on it in the US on t-mobile - with the exception of some MMS fiddling - the same deal with my Nexus 5 that has been running it for over a year...

So, really, what's the deal? Why bury that news and not update it on the blog post? Why alienate an entire continent?

Very close to walking away from the table and picking up a flip phone.
