What do you guys mean by tax back? Have we been overcharged for taxes or something?

He's outside EU, he paid Finnish tax and now he'll have to pay Swiss tax and he only has to pay Swiss, so he wants Finnish back.

Store is up and running and it have a coupon-button. Anyone knows if jolla planning to have a Dev-discount? If user submit an application you can buy jolla with discount. 199 Euro or similar. Do they excpect that we will be Beta testers of their phone and SDK plus creating applications on our own time and everything for free?
I don't like the smell of this.

I preordered mine in June, maybe they fixed it at some later point. In that case I guess it should be fair to treat us all equally.
EDIT: Oh, actually, it's the order date that should matter, right? Nov 25th here...

If you're a business in the EU you can have tax taken off business purchases at source instead of going through the hassle of claiming it back from another EU member which is rarely worth it for the one purchase.
Jolla weren't and presumably still aren't set up for intra-EU B2B transactions though and I wasn't going to miss out on a new phone.

The only thing I want now is my Jolla on Monday 23/12 before 6pm (that's where I leave to visit my family & my holiday starts). Let's hope it works out!

They didn't respond to my question on Twitter, so I guess they're still looking into it. Somehow I believe they'll sort it out.
BTW I'm here until Thursday so I really hope to get the damn thing so I can brag back home
