I have no problem with Jolla SBJ1 performance whatsoever, so am happy Jolla-C performance is on the same level.
What mostly intrests me HW-wise is the quality of the display and camera; those are the achilles heel of SBJ really.

Hi.
I also ordered one.
This will be the first time I keep pace with the community
after 5 years waiting for prices being around 200 in order to buy.
Hardware prices are certainly going down over time....
Regards.

I do recommend everybody to send a donation to Jolla instead of buying a product without warrenty. Dave is allready busy preparing a new thread about Jolla's C.

I am totally sure that the device will arrive in July. I am a tad uncertain whether it will be in 2017 or 2018 though.
Anyway. The fact that in a couple of hours 1k ppl were willing to spend money on a device even though they can neither be certain if it will ever arrive nor if it works if it does shows that there is a market for handheld devices that run Linux.
Donīt get me wrong: I really hope things work out this time.

Glad I bought my FP2, it's expensive in comparison but I think it will last a really long time because SFOS is so light weight (it's very fast on here) and it's easy to do repairs because of the availability of spare parts and overall better build quality. Still hoping for official support from Jolla/Fairphone so we can get updates - I don't use AD or exchange so that doesn't bother me.
Hopefully having some more variety in screen sizes in the wild will improve app scaling for everyone, too.

I think they have arranged it like a developer (and "community" if you like) program, where, if you pay your fee, you get courses, event subscriptions for a year, and then, they "loan" you the device, with the clause that you can keep it after the subscription ends.
It makes kind of sense as a developer program, if I were not interested in tinkering with it, I would not think about getting on the program.
On the other hand, they say they will reimburse/replace the device if it is dead on arrival, and they will actually try to support it anyway, in a best effort kind of way. That is what I read between the lines of the various statements I have read.
I am not overly worried about the warranty in this case: typically, electronic devices break either immediately, or just after the warranty period has expired (or sometimes they keep working indefinitely).

I would probably tempted to buy... if they could ship it to me. Anyway, hope buyers will receive their phones soon enough!
