updates to software/firmware will not and cannot make the jolla work in the US. the radio itself doesnt support ANY 3g or LTE frequencies that ANY carrier supports in the US. {definitely not tmobile, at&t, sprint, verizon, or any of their various resellers}

in short, the jolla phone will *never work* in the united states. wait until they release jolla 2, or move to canada {or better yet, europe}.

EDIT: by 'never work', i mean 'never work with greater than 2g networking'. if you just want it to make calls and use wifi, youre all set. also, if the carriers decide to change infrastructure over the next 20 years, maybe it will work then.
