No, I wont(not now at least maybe later). I cancelled my 100 Euro as well as my 0 Euro pre-order today.

If you change your mind sometime. I have a backup 0 Euro pre-order, I will give it to you :)
Once you change your mind talk to me..

Re: Will you buy the Jolla phone?

i've decided i'll wait a year to see how it pans out. my guess is that it will either be another n9 or a lot of people's first but not last android phone. i don't think we'll see a second phone from jolla.

i kerp saying to myself i'll buy it if it has XYZ, where XYZ is something on my n900.

i'll buy it if there's another half with a capacitive stylus
i'll buy it if there's another half with a hardware keyboard
i'll buy it if there's a way to run legacy x11 apps
i'll buy it if there's another half with an fm transceiver
i'll buy it if there's another half with an ir sender
i'll buy it if there's bleeding edge wifi drivers available

basically i'll buy it if it's not a step backwards in functionality from the n900, and i think it'll take a year to know if that's the case or not. but i have a feeling it's going to be.

You couldn't cancel your 0 euro order. You simply have to choose not to use it when the times comes. So I guess I still have my queue number.

Re: Will you buy the Jolla phone?

I will.

As an N900 user (ex-user, it's broken :( ), I'm unable to find what I'm looking for: a pocket computer (that means: hardware keyboard required) running a free and "true" UNIX system.

--There are some phones with physical keyboard, but they run Windows (no UNIX), BB (closed) or Android (not standard UNIX).
--Tizen? Serious doubts about it.
--Ubuntu Touch: few models, I'm afraid there won't be physical keyboard for a while. Or never.

I know it's unclear that a 'keyboard TOH' will be ever released. I'm betting €400 on it.

I'll bite about this Unix thing: neither is the N900, or any other computer running Linux a "true" Unix system. Want to argue about that? Argue with the kernel book...
