Hello, I'm a new user to this forum (have just recently found this site) and I have found this site interesting.

But skipping to the point, I've been interested about a Jolla device for a while now, and I've heard their next (big) announcement will be due in autumn. What I've collected is that they are currently working on a lot of things, including a new Sailfshish/Jolla promo video. What I think is that when the second batch pre-booking of Jolla phones is announced, a lot more is announced too. I think they will definitely announce the complete specs of the phone. Other things... not sure, but they might shed some light about their app-store solution and apps coming bundled with the phone. And they will probably release the new promo video they've mentioned they're working on.

So what do you think they will announce or not announce? Jolla has been very careful with announcements since Jussi Hurmola's resignation (He announced that their first phone will be released in 2012; that might have something to do with his later resignation and their current carefulness with announcements). To me it seems they do a few BIG announcements rather than several small ones.

When I saw the headline I thought Jolla had launched some new cool campaign. I'm so disappointed.

Well summer is over in 7 days, so it's a possibility they'll launch the campaign then

Sounds good to me. Anything is better than nothing. Hope the price is around 299 Euro. 399 euro doesn't fit the device.

Hardware specs should be finalised now that they are ordering batches from China. Pretty sure that they'll annouce full hardware specs. Propably bit more about OS as well.

App-store etc. I would not expect until winter, closer to phone hitting the stores.

I hope they'll shed some light about Other Halves too. If they've decided to produce the keyboard halves, it would be time to announce it too.

I hope they will allow orders from the USA this time.

To reach the US probably they'd need to rework the RF/modem section of their device and certainly going through an expensive FCC certification round.

A possibility for those outside the EU... shipito has a warehouse in Austria. They are currently forwarding via Austrian Post and FedEx.

Given that the device will be compatible with your service provider(s) and if distribution is limited to the EU... it should be as simple as changing your mailing address on the pre-order.

Why? If they support needed LTE frequencies, no need to rework anything. Most modern modems support many frequencies at once. FCC can be a mess though.
