Some of their market was sold to Sprint. Give it time, as the #5 US carrier, they'd still require some alterations (see below) for full support.

I think we're just going to have to agree to disagree for no other reason than Jolla in the US really doesn't serve their purposes. The US is truly a stagnant, app heavy, convenience seeking group of people that do not really appreciate taking the time to learn new things. I know the irony of saying that as an American; however the criteria for the average American smart phone user is more deeply entrenched into areas that Jolla just hasn't made a lot of gains into. Jolla really entices my inner-tinkerer, but not something I'd recommend that knows nothing of the inner-workings of a computer or mobile operating system.

Current models only support 2G in the US. Retooling is very necessary. Not unless you have the secret power(s) to get Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile to support EU based LTE frequencies.

Until released, I'd rather treat it as vaporware. Helps me manage expectations.
