What I'm saying is that they need to be produced before they can be made available to the end customer. And if there's a minimum batch of, say, 50.000 - why should Jolla even think of ordering them if they assume only 100 will be sold?

They have some spare batteries in the backyard, yes, but they cant give those away as long as there are customers who send devices in for warranty repairs.

(Nothing that I write here are facts I know. It's just the one explanation that immediately comes to my mind after reading these last pages. I'm making assumptions.)
