Even better, Jolla could jump in to subcontract modular phone manufacturing and do only design, software and marketing.
Or just plain software.
You control the specs as it follows Jolla's ideology of openness.
Like Google project Ara + Jolla detachable TOH.
That would be very awesome and very unlike!.

Were you really expecting a cheap device from a small company like Fairphone? You can get a Samsung if you want something cheap, but it will come with all that Sammy love that we all know.

you guys are forgetting fairphone is small company, and price for each component is higher,,in addiction the price in increased by complete transparency and human sustainable supply chain..i find it an added value and it would be surprising if someone who claim for opensource (with its philosophy both as availability for all and transparency) doesnt understand this
