His post spoke in absolute terms, I'm under no false pretence that there'll definitely be a J2, especially given the most recent developments, but we also can't rule-it-out entirely at this point. A range of info. that's been leaked & discussed here previously, suggests they have been working on something*, but it remains to be seen if it'll materialise for end-users. Perhaps he wasn't meaning to be rude, but that's the problem when you're so terse & then add "get over it", that's the impression you can give off, to you, apparently not, to others, potentially.
Addendum:
I do vaguely recall an article(s) linked recently, where they more-or-less outright said that they do have plans afoot for a J2, but that it's way down the priority list (naturally) right now. Do you not recall that, PIchlo? I will see if I can find it later... Of course, that doesn't guarantee that it'll see the light of day, they may have killed it or they may kill it at some point in the future, if the overall strategy changes or if resources run out.
*possibly Intel-based

It was not mikecomputing who was rude. If anything, it was you. You were the one to stoop down to using terms such as "unsubstantiated rubbish". And now a personal attack*). I would really expect more from a moderator.

It was: "There is no J2, get over it"; unsubstantiated rubbish
Imagine coming to a forum discussing the Bigfoot or alien abductions and posting something like, "there is no Bigfoot, get over it." Sure it would ruffle up some feathers but until you can prove it was a deliberate provocation, you must assume it was meant to introduce some reason into the discussion. And it would be the Bigfoot believers to prove the post wrong rather than calling it "unsubstantiated rubbish".

Now, let's settle down a little. This thread is all about speculation, yes, but also contains some important information in the shape of user expectations for a next device, not necessarily a Jolla one. That's enough for some folks to read, and I personally don't think that a post stating that "there won't be a second device, get over it" is useful at all.
This post isn't too useful either, but I hope it puts out there my wish to get on with the expectations thread

That was my point. It is not "unsubstantiated rubbish", it is a fact. There is not J2.
It's patently obvious that there isn't one now or any time soon, I'm not saying that's unsubstantiated, as that's well, obvious.
Now if he were to buttress his claim with more detail about why he knows there'll never be a J2, well, that's a different matter entirely.
It wouldn't have garnered a response from me, other than to perhaps Qn the veracity of some of his points, if I disagreed with them.
Please, lets stick to posting fresh or old J2 rumours, facts, & expectations, & discussing what they may or may not mean.

You know, I've just gotta laugh reading the last few pages arguing about the next Jolla phone. Right now, there are no Jolla phones being sold in my town. Actually, there are none sold in my state. Wait, no, in fact, there are none being sold here in the United States. Whoops, hang on, there are none being sold in this entire hemisphere of the planet.
The current Jolla phone is Bigfoot. I know the real truth: you folks are all perpetrating an elaborate hoax to confuse and undermine those of us living on this side of the Atlantic!

And that's despite it actually supporting this region's bands & being a viable option here[2], unlike the US, where you're lucky if you can get 2G.
But, we digress, again... Surprise, surprise...
[1] With a bit of extra leg-work it's quite easily attainable though
[2] Once one overlooks the J1's many other hw & sw flaws ofc
