I've just received mine -- cannot express how happy I am! :)

It feels as if I had a different phone. In fact, I think the screen looks different... meh, probably never used landscape until today =)

Thanks guys for caring. You are true fans for it. Although these are bold moves for a start-up the reasons behind are very logical: 1) HW business can't be justified with Jolla's R&D investment level, 2) To justify investment level, Sailfish OS must scale with licensing partners, 3) Serving licensing business is a huge task for us, focus is needed (imagine you having several big time customers demanding attention), 4) Producing Jolla phones is very different sport and also requires focus (customers are important), 5) Both businesses have very different kind of investors: Sailfish OS: big, expecting scale, Devices: smaller, mostly private. Selling two in one is very difficult. ...Most importantly, what you see here is commitment. We are very committed to build and conquer with Sailfish OS and we also want Jolla devices to show its full potential (with TOH). Thats why were are brave enough to me bold, Unlike moves ;)

Happy for those folks that have received theirs. Anybody in the US receive one? Maybe a better question. Anybody else in the US order one?

TBH I don't think one can make such a leap based on that vague statement, we'll have to wait & see, they've said many similar vague things before that've not materialised*, delivery is what matters now, not platitudes/talk.

/OFF-TOPIC
*in some cases because that's never what they meant (but that was the interpretation), in others maybe it was
