I personally don't care too much about the order. Ideally, I want it before xmas, if it comes afterwards, it'll be ok too.

I do understand Jolla though... they are quite small, messages (or the lack of it) sometimes can be confusing. From a business perspective, it does make sense to serve where most people are first. Look at big telcos: they'll give you fibre optic based internet only if there is enough demand.

Also, to play devil's advocate, when preordered you had "1st" and "2nd". I expect that the "1st" ones will be done before the "2nd" ones, but how would I know ;-)
