I don't recall reading that the update was going to be "early" this week, just this week. I won't search in twitter as I may crash it ;-)

As to questions about why would we support Jolla: well, in my case I live in a "supported" country (the best supported country is Finland so far, maybe Portugal soon), but I can still say that you kind of support these movements now or never. There are 3 main new things that came out recently: FF OS, Ubuntu Touch, Sailfish - I like the latter the most, hence I support it. Then again, 400€ won't put me in a financial problem right now.

Yes, I didn't say Tizen as they already have tons of funding behind them, so it doesn't really count. You can support that one when it's fully matured, if it ever does. Samsung has lots of money for not doing things properly for decades and continuing not doing so, so there you go ;-)
