So who has had their invitation email?
 

Not sure if I will be one of the 450 but it could be close. Would love to make the trip to Helsinki though.

So who is the first to receive the golden ticket email ? At least we know it won't be Dave999 :)

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

Most probably wouldn't, since it's Finland only now.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

The invitees are likely the employees and others in the close circle, so that the party is truly a family party. I doubt anyone outside of those circles will be invited.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

I got my invite and I'm not related to any Jolla people and I live 2 hours away from Helsinki. I did however put in my €100 pre-order during the first few minutes it was available.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

I also got the invitation but I didn't remember to answer yesterday. Someone else will get my place..

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

Well that clears it up. I did wonder if they would send invites regardless of country of purchase. Shame they didn't, it would have been the longest trip to collect a new bit of tech. Beats the 200 mile round trip to collect my N900 by some mark.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

So when will the invite to purchase emails be arriving?

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

Plenty of people outside Finland have reported here (in the JollaLoveDay topic) that they have gotten the invitation, so country doesn´t matter. Jolla said on Twitter last week that only Finns would get the invitation, but they later corrected it.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

I can't help but draw parallels to getting your invite via e-mail to getting a Willy Wonka golden ticket...

I'm in the US, hadn't received any e-mail. I have an order ID, but opted for the 0€ package which means if there is any hierarchy that I'm probably near the bottom. But that's fine.

It'll happen sooner than later.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

So our manners & behaviour will be judged harshly when we go to Narinkkatori... :D

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

There will be a special priority queue among the 450 that you can only join if you go with your grandfather.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

I do wonder how many orders they received on the 20th May then. I ordered early morning but apparently was not one of the 450. Shame the order number gives nothing away :(

Maybe i shoudl have got my Grandpa to buy my pre-order ;)

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

The good news is that in a week we will hopefully have unbiased review of Jolla first device. From ergonomics to other omics!

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

True. I hope I will be able to be objective, but of course the subjective merits of the upcoming gala evening will affect my judgement. If the event is spectacular enough that will surely wobble bias to one side or another :cool:

Given enough booze & showgirls anything can happen :eek:

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

noone knows but it must be soon maybe tomorrow.

I really hope you get an invite. If you are ready to move jolla should send you a invite. GL man!

@Marc. Give this guy an invite ASAP!

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

You derailed this thread tooo.....

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

you have to answer to invite till 20th. So I wouldn't count on order emails before that.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

I wonder if people decline to go will others be invited in there place?

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

It would make sense to send invites to the next in line, yes.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

There is of course a logistical limit there, so they _may_ do a second round of invites, but eventually any spare device may be sold to the general public FIFO sort of way. Ultimately, somebody will get sick the day of the event even if they confirmed they would go, so that device would go to somebody else.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

I hope all devices sold during the event comes with party mode as default setting. Any info on that?

i hope jolla really get 450 preorded customers to the party. Hope for another batch of updates. Party hard!

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

The should be more emails and information coming 'soon', so patience is a virtue.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

That "soon" inaccuracy is killing me. :D

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

The word "soon" is used most by Blizzard... followed closely by Jolla now :D

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

I thought it was 'pretty soon' ?

:D

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

Just got my invite. UK, €100.
I'm not quite mad enough to spend £100+hotel to go (although I would like to visit Finland at some point), so I guess I'll just sit tight and get it shipped when that email comes through.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

Same here, just got an invite, can't justify the spend. If I had kids, I'd do a mini-break taking in Lapland, but this is too much even though it's the first Jolla.

It's good news for those who backed Jolla and might be able to make it though.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

Well I have just had my invitation!

Now to work out the logistics and see if it is possible :O

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

Now this is interesting, thanks for sharing. =)

So they didn´t send enough invitations the first time around to gather 450 who could make it and now are having a second go with quite a narrow time table to sign up. Hope they manage to find enough people, on the other hand, if they still have free spots on the 27th I might be able to fit in to buy my own Jolla. =)

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

Also got an invitation today.
100 € preorder from Germany, on the first day at noon.
If I get a place confirmed, I'll fly to Helsinki. :)

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

I hope jolla reads this and send a conformation to you. Love your attitude.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

I got the same email, located in Germany here. I won't make it to Helsinki that day though.
I'd suggest you to remove it from your post though, don't want you to run into trouble!

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

Cmon. Openness is key! Do you mean jolla Will Punish Him for showing this? If that was the case i would never support jolla in any way...

As a side note. Is it even a legally valid way to send something outside of organization and demand to keep it a secret. I think the receiver must confirm before sending?

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

Got invite, not going to the event.

100 euro pre-order on the first day (don't remember time).


EDIT:

Few pics about the square where the event will be held. Its in front of a big shopping centre. Lots of commercial events take place there. Also easy to get there. Next to Kamppi metro-station and about block and half away from Helsinki main railway station.

In late November it will propably look bit like this.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

I have personally mixed feelings about this invitation.
100 € Invitation to stay in a queue? In the evening? For three hours? Outside? IN FINLAND? Of course I will be doing it because I WANT THE PHONE , but somehow it feels a bit like "ne kusee mun silmaan"*, as they say, if you pardon my French.

*DISCLAIMER : The exact meaning of the frase might be overstated as the writer is not Finnish.

EDIT : ALSO, and more importantly, no information is given if the phones will be Operator-locked. Remember, the event is hailed by DNA (who is a telco in Finland)

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

I´m under the impression that the queueing takes place inside the pop-up store (I have imagined it to be a tent?), so no freezing except for those who won´t get the invitation but still hope to fit inside (like myself).

Jolla has said, multiple times I think, that the phone will not be operator locked.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

LoL. Will the event be outside ? Looks very cold.

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

They are setting up a pop up store for the event. Most likely big heated show tent, or at least these sort of events tend to be arranged in such during winter. It's also only for people 18 or older, which basicly means that there will be free booze to drink.

Lock ins are rare in Finland and never used for full priced phones like Jolla. Also DNA already confirmed that Jollas won't be locked (IIRC).

Not overstated, pretty mild saying. The only thing to correct is that it should "ne kusee mun silmään"

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

That is all good and nice, but I paid for a phone, not a queue :)

Re: So who has had their invitation email?
 

Wait for it to be delivered to your home then.
