To all whiners out there:

I think it is only fair and right if Jolla ships first to us who were willing to commit to them back in May by spending our own money (100€ or 40€) over those who were not.

I also thought this is what will happen already back then. It beats me on what logic someone just "yelling I want one" instead of paying up should get his or her device before the ones who showed belief in the product.

However, I do not think this will make any practical difference in the end. All who paid or registered will get theirs within a few days or at worst weeks. The lucky 450 who will be selected for the launch party just get theirs a few days earlier than anyone else. And they need to queue for it in the cold Finnish winter. The rest will get the device shipped to home door...
