Notice I said "or elsewhere", China+EU is still only a fraction of the world...
And even China plans are still very vague, good news about those in the EU being able to order direct from the 27th, that's an okay start.
Yes I know the link, I have read it....

I admit I was a bit disappointed by the communication during slush. The updated FAQs now give alle the information I need.
The way I see it, DNA as the only carrier supporting Jolla so far is given some kind of a ius primae noctis. The Jolla-Launch is basically a DNA-event and Jolla will be able to ship to their customers only afterwards.
Makes sense. Also, because the invitations are sent to the first people who ordered in the first pre-order, it's very unlikely to be invited at all...
I understand that DNA wants some of the PR for themselves, it's reasonable and at least it's not for people from Finland (or worse, for DNA customers) only.

I'd not expect those %'s to be high, but I'd certainly expect some solid representation, if not in this initial promo, then at least in another very soon afterwards.
*the 1st pre-order program is what should be used, the 2nd one was Finland-only & was much later

.
The FAQ clarifies a lot, I´m grateful for it as well.
On the launch event: while it is PR for DNA, I see it serving primarily those who deserve it: the first pre-orderers. I don´t see it being a bad thing, especially as the pre-orderers will probably get thei phones delivered before DNA starts to sell the phones in their proper stores. Or do you think that the phones should be shipped even before the launch event?

So, you somehow already know what the break-down of those invited is...

It seems like they got a small amount of phones and decided to share them this way to some of the very first who pre-ordered. Can't see anything wrong with that. Getting at least the Finnish community together in such a big event.
I would absolutely be there, if I was invited.

You're responding to my old post see my updated one...
I highly doubt that every single one of those 1st 450 pre-orders were: (1) in the EU, (2) $100 pre-orders.

Maybe someone get the device then sell it at once outside DNA shop with higher price?
This is a good business and have good profit
