[WTB] Jolla Phone - I'm in the US
 
Okay guys... I'll be brief.

PM me if you're selling your Jolla Phone. I am located in the US so that unfortunately means that Finland folks cannot ship to me with the battery still in - sorta need that.

I've checked all over eBay and see the prices there. I do prefer with box. Let me know.

I can re-ship a Jolla to you if you want a new one

Registered shipping from the Netherlands to the US costs €25,95 (it's also insured up to €500)

Other 2 options:

€ 24,30 = Only Tracking code, no insurance
€18,00 = No Tracking at all

I prefer the €25,95 one :)

PM me if you're still interested. (You can fill out my address when buying from Jolla.com)

Edit: just to let you know: I've already done this so many times now...

You're OK with 2G, right? I suppose you could use another phone like an N9 to create a wifi hotspot or just use the phone in places with wifi like your home.

Jolla can NOT connect to adhoc wifi connections. So he can't use his N9 as hotspot for the Jolla :(

Let me get this straight. Is this going to be gerbick's first Jolla? So all this time he was praising how fantastic and completely flawless it was, he did not actually know what he was talking about?

I used my Jolla while travelling in the US (Boston area) this summer.
I roamed via AT&T. Telephony is 2G only, with very bad voice quality, and I even had problems with age-old SMS. But that is probably due to AT&T. But at least it works. For all non-voice use cases use WiFi.

Yes only 2G in USA. I used it as my primary phone since it came out. I had wifi at home and work.

My most important features that I need were Phone (with conf. calls), SMS, MMS, Email, Whatsapp, Navigation and rare occasional searching for something online. I never watch videos on the phone.

Phone and Email works great and had no issues. I had multiple email accounts on it. IMAP push works great, sometimes think it worked better than the coworkers latest Android devices.

Jolla works fine for all of the above on T-Mobile USA. Yes it is pretty slow to search online on 2G, but could find what I am looking for in case of an emergency while on road (since when I am not at work or home or some friends home, most of the time I would be driving so could not use the phone anyway).

While I was driving, I used Waze for navigation all the time and it worked great. No issues.

Of course I wished it had LTE support, but I loved it still.

Now I use Nexus 5. Instead of Waze, I use Poor Maps. I like the bigger screen, but other than that the use case is pretty much same. Browsing is a lot more usable if I need it on the road.

I am still not ready to give it up otherwise I would offer it to gerbick

So... are you being intentionally daft or just want to continue down a path of stating outrageous assumptions?

Now, let's knock down some downright silly assumptions.

No. This is not my first exposure to a Jolla device. The fact that I'm trying to source a Jolla Phone has absolutely nothing to do with my experience. It has more to do with the fact that in a few weeks/months I might not have the opportunity to purchase one directly from Jolla.

I have never said that this was "completely flawless" either. No mobile OS user experience from my personal and professional standpoint is "completely flawless".

Any other words of "wisdom" you wish to continue to state or are we just stating completely, utter drivel as comments here at TMO from hereon?

Quite possibly the most shortsighted inquiry/statement I've read here at TMO in quite a long time.

To be honest, it's just to add it to my collection that included the 770, N800, N810, N900 and N9. I even have shelf space waiting for it.

Slightly back on topic, I actually gave one away last week. If for any reason they can't handle the awesomeness of the jphone, I will let you know.

Given the current specs of the Jolla Phone and tablet. I think I prefer the tablet. Anyone have a tablet they want to trade for a jphone?
