Btw i think they have one shot and they need to release finished unit in all aspects(not half baked) or at least to explain and inform if it not finsihed then why, when, what support and what models are planned?
I really dont get your point et all.Already 2012 they said it will be a midend devicev NOT highend.

Also how the freeking hell do you think they could get access to the latest and greatest SoC as an upstart company with enduser price of 400EUR?

Please stop compare Jolla with Samsung, Micronokia or Apple. its not possible! Just look what happened with Canonicals ridicilous plans to try make an device for enduser price of 6 000EUR

* did they get the money? Answer No.
* Would they success make the phone if they got that 30 million? My answer is clearly no. Almost everyone in the bussiness said they cant's success with those ridicilous hiend specs, they had to push ALOT more money than 30 million to make that happen. Not even samsung has hiend specs like canonicals device(and samsung has cash, canonical not. Just geekdreams for an upstarter like canonical. Same for Jolla if they was that naive.

Seriously for 400EUR you can't expect that topend for an upstart.

If you want hiend for that price they had to sell x million devices. not x ten tousands. We should be glad if they success sell an 250 000 devices and still survive 2014.

If they did go your root of hiend. Well they probadly would die before chrismas 2013 in ruined because they had big loans to the investors and only 1000 device sold to some fanatic Linux geeks who has no problem pay 8000EUR for a hiend device. Because thats probadly those prices you had to pay for hiend device in small volumes.

And about Android suppport, I dont like android support and as you said it may be that devs not choose make sailfish apps. But tell me whats the alternative? Not supporting means alot more people would complain because X/Y/Z app dont exists on sailfish OS and even less people would buy the device.

But think of it again. It may instead end that devs actually start makes apps for sailfishos when more people buys Jolla phone and developers se how easy and fun it is write apps for sailfishos. Now that would bne a win win situation in the longer run.


Its reality not dreams.
