Ehm... Since Turing licenses SailfishOS from Jolla, I would have thought that the licenser has some control over the system shipped to customers. So either Jolla did not think about this when signing the contract, or Turing just didn't care to adhere to it... Either way, I don't think it's good for Jolla's PR to allow an unfinished software to be shipped to someone else's unsuspecting customers.

The Turing adventure is IMHO a risk on its own, but now I can already imagine the first reviews about SailfishOS not being ready for production. They even label it as Alpha for crying out loud!

Jolla need to get hw out in the market...something is better than nothing.

Are you saying Jolla is not in the loop?

Filled with chocolate, Dave. Sweet delicious chocolate.

But phone or chocolate, we all wanna see some user pics whenever these boxes show up.

Of all the justifications for a high price, 'included more parts' is one of the better ones. Me, I'd rather the money go for more camera and lens than more flash, but either way would be hard sell to convince the spouse I need a phone in that price range when I have two working phones now. :(

As I have said before I will believe it when I see it.

Just don't forget to open the window before. It will look very suspicious if the window is also broken.
