You provided the answer yourself in the link. Donor is fine. So is donator. Donor is more common. The last vowel is o in both cases, not e.

Happy new year!

i ordered my jtab from the jolla webstore.

i'd accept the refund, but i'd much rather receive an Intex Sailfish phone instead.

i [want] to help them with my money.

I guess it mosty comes down to whether Jolla gave its "best" to deliver tablet or did it spread itself too thin using funding on other projects...

Also. Anyone have an idea how big a "small batch" is? How do they decide who gets one. First come first serve?

Happy New Years!

Their previous "small batch" was about 200 units, so it would seem likely to be something on the same scale. For shipping order, they have been adhering rigorously to the order in which people made contributions on the Indiegogo campaign.

We saw maybe 100-200 surface on Taobao, so my guess is the "small batch" are those devices but reflashed back to Sailfish. From what we've seen this means they will be 32gb devices, not the 64gb ones.

This makes a reasonable amount of sense, because the first wave was likely a final pre-production batch to ensure quality before running 1000+ devices off. So this batch will be the same thing but for the 32gb variant.

I find it unlikely that a new batch would actually get manufactured, only to stop after a few hundred. Clearly relations between the manufacturer and Jolla have broken down and so making more tablets would require finding a new manufacturer and starting the process all over again.

Wasn't it about 1000? ISTR two lots, one of about 80 units an another one of 1000. Minus those already sold.

Could be much more. I was just checking Taobao a few minutes ago, and found these listings:

http://world.taobao.com/item/525258878357.htm

http://world.taobao.com/item/524680984224.htm

http://world.taobao.com/item/524763794851.htm

http://world.taobao.com/item/525246736574.htm

http://world.taobao.com/item/525529259229.htm

http://world.taobao.com/item/525733298630.htm

http://world.taobao.com/item/525505795172.htm

I have no clue if all these entries in Taobao's site refer to different stocks of tablets or to the same stock, but if they are all separate, the grand total available right now from their site would be 3748 tablets. At a price of about 150 US dollars each, they're quite a deal as well...

EDIT: Interesting! The Taobao site actually provides details on how the devices are selling. So, 19 tablets have been sold from the first link, and 7 tablets from the second link. No other links show any tablets sold. The first tablet was sold on December 16th. Not sure if there are any customer comments available...

EDIT 2: From the description on one of the links, It does look like wherever these guys have been getting these tablets, their supply may have been cut off. Also, Jolla is apparently not supporting Sailfish on these devices, so they have switched to setting them up with Android. Here's the Google translation of the comment:

Originally the system should be swordfish system, but because the system stops swordfish registration (defunct) legacy is this group of machine production plant brush into the Android system to get the market to sell, only this group, while supplies last! I hope you understand.
EDIT 3: Some customer comments (albeit mangled badly by Google translate):

Caton, the charge does not work, but cheap, the seller attitude is very good, looks good, barely received ......
A great tablet operating system, screen color are good, is the battery capacity is small point, use a long time some heat. High cost, the store shipped very fast, is to express some drag.
