Yes correct. At least an official word on the issue. And not just copy and paste FAQ

Well I would take it as a good sign that people are so passionate about getting their Jolla phone. I will not lie I am quite annoyed and slowly losing my mind checking the order page and the spreadsheet but my 3 weeks is still not up so I can't complain.
Once 3 weeks have passed then I will complain

I get that. However, what is - and has been - possible all this time is adding communication and a sense that they are truly listening and hearing.
Unlike you, I don't even care about either of those things. My feedback has been to improve the process and the communication. I can perfectly well live with the delivery delays and the DNA launch. I think the big issue is lack of communications and disrespecting the pre-order order.
Slowness is not an issue (we understand they are a startup) and even the DNA part I could let be, although it would have been great there too if they had given info early on that more 2nd wave orderers could have selected DNA store pick-up - one more place where open communications early on would have helped customers make decisions that help them and actually would have helped Jolla too by lessening their logistical woes. Now many people didn't choose DNA store pick-up because they thought it would add delay to the delivery.
That's the really saddest part. I think Jolla have added to their own work and worry by deciding to not communicate.
Basically the definition of "closed" (vs. open) is they the other party decides what is relevant. Had Jolla been open, they would have let the community decide a bit more what info they can use and what not. I think they could have been surprised what openness can do.
So if you feel that way, answer me this:
How do you think Jolla's community basedness has shown itself in the pre-order process fulfillment?

Hmmm ironically "I am first one" LE ( still don;t get waht is so limited in theme, ringtone and colour) is not included in packages anymore, instead we have note that it would be send latter ( no dates? )
They ignored my question on twitter, anyone has any info on that?
Did they want to change it to "i was almost first one" or "i love to wait" ?

We do sympathize and feel for both of your frustration. It's not about that. You have misunderstood.

It 's really strange, it's like you were blocked. From Monday, just picking up the 3000, and oddly enough they are almost all Finns. To me they have a few phones and many, including myself, unfortunately, will receive the phone after Christmas.

Everybody has the right to feel frustrated (I also felt a bit like that during the past weeks, but luckiy I got my "In picking" notification today), and everybody has the right to express his/her disappointment. Sometimes, somebody has gone a little bit "over the top", over-reacted, or call it like you want. IMHO, obviously.
And apart from that, we started from a fair (even if sometimes harsh) discussion, but we ended with a mere reiteration of the same concepts, over and over and over, without bringing the discussion really any further. That's when all the thing became annoying whining to me. Again, IMHO.
Premnas, I can totally feel your frustration (da compatriota ancora di più). I had the luck to go "in picking" around the moment I expected to (after making my calculations from this thread and the spreadsheet), you didn't.

My suggestion wasn't to make running commentary on everything Jolla does, but at critical moments understand about the benefits of openness. When the delays started rearing their heads, that was the moment when better communications would have - in my opinion - helped immensely.
People I have spoke with cared more about the delivery than sweet comms. There is clearly much to improve in process, in communications too, but at this moment the communication it's not the burning issue. Getting those devices delivered is.

Jolla's CEO just made it sound like delivering the phones to DNA was much easier for them, why didn't they tell us of that beforehand? Give people information that helps them make more informed choices.
Most pre-orderers chose their type of delivery before the problems arose and escalated to current extent. Changing them afterwards would have made already burdensome mess even more burdensome and confusing.

In that case, please answer this question: how would it have contributed to the actual delivery process when it would have taken more time off doing those deliveries?
In fact, I actually think giving out more timely information, more openly would have meant Jolla had to answer less tweets, less care emails etc. and would have actually saved Jolla time. Pre-emptive, timely communications can help a lot.

As far as I'm concerned, their workers have devoted some time to actually speak with the community.
I did NOT expect this from Jolla. The delays? Sure, problems happen at startups. The closedness, the silence, the evasive PR platitudes? No way I saw it coming. Very disappointing.

Most companies don't do that at all.

You know, many people thought Jolla was going to deliver before the DNA sales while they already knew on the background they would no way make it. This means we can't trust the silence. (In this particular case, my feeling is that we can, though, expect most to get their Jollas shipping by Christmas - so at least that part to me seems optimistic.)
For me, instead of having reports of delivery progress (ie. how many devices are still waiting), it's much more important to know they are doing their best to get those devices delivered,

This is the part where communicating with community can actually contribute something useful. Discussing details about delivery problems and progress is not.
Not to mention the emotional part. This treatment certainly doesn't make it seem like Jolla wants to share in a movement with people. It seems more like they want blind followers. Now, I'm sure that is not a fair perception, but I'm just saying that's what the silence is saying to me - and I doubt I'm completely alone in that perception.
I know others feel differently and that's fine. This is a Jolla order tracking thread, not in any way majorly important for our or Jolla's future, so let's not make it any bigger than it is. But as my feedback, I think Jolla could have improved a lot - and I do think they would be wise to open up more.
And saying people just can't be satisfied isn't the best line to start with, no matter how potentially misunderstood.

New people joined in, in the latest instance JulmaHerra. I think it is perfectly natural that new people joining in means repeating some of that conversation, because they bring those topics back.
Discussion is hard, and sometimes frustrating and repetitive. Life.
