452 votes on poll (aka "preorders")
>=700EUR: 65 (plus the ~10 'hidden' votes resp vote changes)
>=600EUR: 91 ( " )
>=550EUR: 104
>=500EUR: 159
I'm musing what we could offer to get the "500ers" on board - maybe deferred payment on the preorder, combined with a ~10% discount compared to the final pricetag? 2 years of warranty?

Then I'll raise my offer to 500

Voted (800). I've been following this thread since day one and I think it's an awesome project.
Just hope you guys and the maemo5-fremantle porting taskforce can pull it off.

I am a 500'er sorely tempted to raise to 700. My hesitance relates to the porting enterprise that is separate from the hw effort. Further, joerg_rw noted that the neo900 will not come with fremantle installed. Financially I need a neo900 that can function as a phone with relative ease and that means the fremantle porting work must have succeeded to some point by the neo900 delivery date.. But will it have done so? That point is a crucial one for me...

just finished moving my 18 to 24 months "old" primary N900 to my "test device"
old config
new config
long story short...
i already spent 100€ on the Jolla pre-order, thus i'll probably stick with that.
both my N900s are still in decent shape & fully usable 4 me, so if Thumb2 (& the slimmed down config
) work, i may wait until June 2014 before getting a Jolla device
a Neo900? with 512MB RAM, 1.2 GHz CPU (or more
) and... i paid ~400€ for a white N9, going to pay ~400€ for Jolla device but... IF my N900 works properly with Thumb2 i may well simply keep that.
if on top of that Jolla device gets a QWERTY hardware keyboard, maybe it's time to move on?
appreciate the effort of the Community, but... 700€? that's more then i ever spent on a mobile
too much for me i'm afraid.
on the other hand, if there is no (satisfactory) QWERTY other half and Thumb2 does not improve things, i may consider spending 450€ for a beefed up N900 successor
maybe 500
old config
- power kernel
- NO community SSU
(had it on old test dev and didn't feel it was improving things, but it was stable, so...) - two swap partitions on µSD
(switching from cli every now & then - too many apps i once installed but never used
- until last may i had nearly 2 yrs history of chat, SMS, calls & all (el-vi.db was over 20MB )
mid may started using glogarchive but it does not work for me (struggling w/ the 20MB as well?) - since a few weeks it tends to stop responding & requires a reboot or even a battery stop
new config
- power kernel + CSSU Thumb2
- two swap partitions on µSD
- only those apps that i used on a regular basis in the last few months
- started with empty el-v1.db
- ...
