What you are talking about is normal price drop/rise due to market. I am talking about false public relation actions to keep up a totally unacceptable high price done by one and the same company.
If something like this happens to me (and it did!) I just call/mail customer care and I always succeeded to get the lower price with a bit of negotiations (due to online-buy-send-back-guaranty and eligibility of getting the lower price). And that is where Jolla badly failed in this special case! If you like to know more details please PM me, as there is no need to discuss this publicly.FULL STOP
--edit And if a company fails to understand me as customer, I as a customer feel to not support such company with my money (even I like the product) - that's the way I see it. No more, no less.
