its a crappy move from jolla, and its probably no coinscidence that they did it just when this thread started to move forward. But lets be patient and back off a little and we'll see what they'll do in the nearest weeks. Maybe they did it to prevent eager users to shoot their devices to junk during holiday even before they have had time to roll out their most critical updates.
Show a little patience and give this little company a break.

EDIT: joerg-rw: that video was hilarious. thx.
