Some folks have mentioned using a wifi hotspot with the Jolla phone.
At one point I was considering getting a tablet with LTE and tethering off that. So I would use a combo tablet and jolla phone but at this point I don't think the jolla phone, despite really liking some of its features, is far enough for me to use as a daily drive. Plus I really need a bigger screen for browsing. Guess I've been spoiled by the GN3. Hopefully the next Jolla phone will be better compatible with US providers.

lol. I won't say this too loudly as you never know who is listening but there is a second conspiracy theory being quietly discussed amongst those members of the linux underground here in the US about the surprising absence of officially supported devices that behave as a proper linux distribution (i.e. N9 and Jolla phone)...
Well supposedly T-Mobile and perhaps Verizon will official support Ubuntu phone in the US later this year.

I'll believe that when I see it, some massive co's have struggled to get those 2 US carriers on-board...
Canonical's a minnow compared to any of them, Mark will have spun some amazing crap if he's managed that.

Mark has been in space. Do I have to say more?

there is no LTE in north america that will work on jolla, and no 3g in the united states. {canada is maybe possible now with 3g, but probably not}

Why not just try Sailfish on another device like a Nexus 4/5? At least then you will get 3G data. I'm dual booting a custom Android build (based on CM11) and Sailfish on my Nexus 5. So far it has been working out pretty well!

Because so far as far as I know Sailfish does not support all major hardware of any phone but the Jolla. For example the camera does not work on your Nexus. Unless the wiki is out of date that is. I'm hoping eventually one can make calls, use GPS, bluetooth and take pictures.

How are upgrades, no OTA upgrades I suspect do you lose any settings etc. when you flash?

That's why he said "TRY it out". You dual-boot for a reason. When you're done playing with Sailfish, you can boot back into Android. If you like Sailfish, then updates will come and improve the experience on Nexus.

Re: Can the Jolla phone be used in the united states
 
Towards end of November I'll be traveling to the US. In case there's someone being interested in a Jolla phone, I could order one and bring it with me + send it from within US. Price would be €281.45 + delivery cost + 8% Swiss tax (excl. delivery costs in US). In case you have a discount code, that can be used as well of course.

If there's interest and/or you want to know why I would even do something like that ;-) contact me via private message (or here if necessary).
