But we've always been able to buy direct from Jolla, and pay ... *checks* ... €404 = £329.21 ??!

Re: UK Availability
 
Sure, same price (pretty much); never said it was cheaper. But Amazon do offer next day delivery ...

€404 : phone + tax + shipping to UK

True, I suppose, and it's more visibility (maybe) to people browsing Amazon for phones (who are these people?)

If you're a UK VAT registered business, claiming the VAT back on an Amazon purchase might swing it. Jolla don't unfortunately let EU businesses remove the VAT at source and claiming it back intra EU is a pain.

Still, I'd rather my money went to Jolla directly than Amazon and I don't even mind I paid Finnish VAT on mine. The Finnish government are more likely to do something useful with it than the public schoolboy, right wing twonks that pass for the British government

Yes but they won't ship to Australia :mad:

Made an account only to find that out.
Anyway need to stick to my N9 a bit longer.

Jolla available in Amazon.UK for UKP298.74 since today, (it was UKP330).

By the way, until 2 days ago, Amazon.UK was accepting international orders (Amazon Global), but since then it is restricted (not shipping to Brazil, for example). :mad:

Yeah, that stopped international orders between me leaving work on Friday night, and getting home when I was actually going to make the Order :(:mad:
Would've been in my hands in 3 days time from now.
Really f*************** about that.

Hopefully they'll once again accept international orders once the sale ends.

Which is about 350 EUR, the new official price.

Grrr, what's the bet the price will go up slightly & only then will it be available for international orders (if ever) >.>
I think I'm off the bandwagon for this current gen. of Jolla, if there's a 2nd one, & if it's launched in Oz, then I'm in.

I am also trying to buy Jolla smartphone from some store, but Amazon.uk closed international (AmazonGlobal) shipping just in the day I've decided to buy it... :mad:

me too.

my N9 going flakey in November caused me to get a Nexus5 for £300 just months before Jolla's arrival, and there is no way i am spending £300 on a first-gen Jolla now.

let's see what a 2nd Gen model bring...

Amazon UK is again selling Jolla smartphone (UKP279 = EUR357 = US$453), and accepting international orders. At least for me, it shows in "Estimate VAT, Postage and Packaging" :
Quote:

Items £232.50
Estimated Postage & Packaging £12.25
Total before VAT £244.75
VAT £0.00
Import Fees Deposit £232.81
Estimated Order Total £477.56
So for international orders, it costs UKP232.50 = EUR298 = US$378 before packaging & import fees.

I confirm that it worked ! I've bought the Jolla smartphone in 28/09/2014 and received it today at home (via UPS/Amazon Global Priority) in Brazil, with all fees paid before. :) :cool:

Now I'm a Jolla sailor !

PS:
1) international ordering of the Jolla smartphone is still available in the Amazon.UK site (checked today, 03/10/2014);
2) there is no EU or UK adapter from Amazon.UK (as explained in the "Box Contains" section), while Jolla from Jolla.com has EU adapter. It is not a problem for me because I have many Nokia adapters which can charge the Jolla smartphone;
3) it has Sailfish 1.0.4.20. (edited) Just a matter of upgrading directly to 1.0.8.19.
