Yes, they did, plenty of folks got confirmation by Jolla folks at FOSDEM.
That doesn't mean a wider announcement about the product will come then, that still sits at Q1, unless otherwise advised by Jolla.
Of course there's always a chance that the SDK will be delayed...

I've never heard them say during/end summer, but could have easily missed that. Maybe they meant availability by end of summer?

Yes during/end of Summer = in the Summer period, or by the end of it...
The most recent reportings of what they've said have been fixated on "before Summer".
But I think Jolla's earlier statements are likely to be more accurate, assuming there's no significant delay.

Personally I always compare the Jolla device schedule with the N9 schedule 2 years ago:
February: Rumours, but non presentation of device (N9 and Jolla device)
June: Presentation of actual device (N9 so far)
September: Public release of phone (N9 so far)

Also remember N9 didn't arrive in decent no's to most official countries till long after Sept, even for the 1st official countries it didn't start shipping until approx. Sept 20.
If Jolla does no worse than that, then they're doing okay for a tiny start-up, still not ideal ofc, if they want to maximise their chances of success.
