Re: Jolla discount codes
 

you people sometimes find strange things to be mad/disappointed/sad about. i dont see how 100E discounts or 100E pricelowerings can be anything but positive. it may be weird how they did it and communicated it, but the result is the same low price.

Re: Jolla discount codes
 

Well, you could look at it from another point of view: Jolla already planned to lower the price after xmas (totally standard behaviour) and wanted to ensure that people buying the phone earlier because of Dirk's kickstarter won't get disappointed by this.:)

Honestly, if they give a 100€ discount for buying a third-party-product, it's quite clear a price cut is near. Same for giving out the discount codes to jolla owners before. I guess with their help most people here on TMO would have been able to buy the device for 249€ anyway, with or without keyboard OH.

Re: Jolla discount codes
 

To me its funny to hand out discount codes without discount :D

Everyone. Post in this thread and you get 100 EUR discount on jPhone :D

Dave999 gives you the discount right here: ( Instead of 349 you Will get for only 249.)

Re: Jolla discount codes
 

I just noticed that I never got any discount code from my TOHKBD2 purchase. Not needed really either, since I already have a Jolla device but strange if you all others have received it... :confused:

Re: Jolla discount codes
 

It was sent via a project update to everyone titled 'Jolla discount coupon'. Seems like for some people the updates go straight to the spam folder :(

Re: Jolla discount codes
 

Yes, I noticed that, also Kickstarter shows a banner for me saying "we could not contact your email address, could you change/verify it" or something like that.

I asked about if from my sysop and it turned out that Kickstarter is using a known spammer-friendly mailforwarder that has been blacklisted by our systems.
Shame really, I wonder why they selected that one? Could be it is a cheap alternative...

So, for that reason I cannot get anything from Kickstarter. Too bad :(

Re: Jolla discount codes
 

I'm neither mad, dissappointed nor sad about it. It's just like you said, a weird way to do things. Unlike maybe :D

Indeed a very good reason. Maybe the only right one to valid such an incentive.

Of course it was clear that a price drop was imminent. It was so since October. I am one of the people that used a discount code to purchase a Jolla so I didn't need the TOHKBD discount code anyway. But it is still a weird way of doing things.

Re: Jolla discount codes
 

And I do know at least one person, which got so upset by these strange discount actions and the following discussions/behaviour of their (Nokia style) customer care, that he sent it back to Jolla.

Re: Jolla discount codes
 

So millions of iPhone users should also sent their smartphones back because the price falls after 6-12 months. What a problem...

So, people here complained because Jolla smartphone price was EUR350-400. Now people complain that Jolla smartphone costs only EUR249. :confused:

My opinion is that Jolla smartphone at EUR249 means :
1) Jolla wants to sell more smartphones at reduced price to cover the gap until Jolla 2 smartphone is selling;
2) a new Jolla 2 smartphone is due to be announced in the following months (MWC 2015 ?);
3) Jolla 2 smartphone to be released depending on the new display resolution for Sailfish OS (2.0 ?) being ready (in mid 2015 ?).Jolla cited in 06/11/2014 :
So the work on Sailfish OS 2.0 for Jolla tablet will be useful to Jolla 2 smartphone.

Re: Jolla discount codes
 

What we complain about, is the "Discount code" thing.
They act like "Hey you are getting a discount because YOU are special!!" and the very next day "We lowered the price to everyone, screw you discount codes!"

So there is no thing as discount codes :)
The only day that the discount code were useful was when they made an error. You could then buy the Jolla for €150, now THAT is why discount codes are for :D
