I suspect v2.0 is rough but workable on the phone with perhaps a few major but not insurmountable issues. On the tablet; somewhere between completely unusable and as bad as the Jolla Phone was for the first few months of its life - both of which would be unacceptable for release. If it was in a better state, the marketing team would be releasing videos (nothing since MWC) and PR guff, both to hype it and to placate buyers.

The radio silence reflects the panic, disarray and poor management that was so evident last year.

Nothing to do with money. They recently completed a funding round and also got $2m from Indiegogo. If they have no cash already, then something's very wrong indeed. Instead it has everything to do with poor focus, leadership and a development process that's probably still full of holes. I seriously doubt everything was fixed after the debacle last summer & autumn, as claimed. Their way of leaving basic problems for months or years without even attempting (very simple) fixes suggests very poor discipline on some level. Also, I suspect they have nowhere near enough senior software engineers and fixers relative to executives and PR, and some of those they do have are being distracted with the Kremlin project and no doubt other things. Even 2-3 years ago they seemed to have an HR structure which looked like a company with a mature product that would sell well, rather than a start-up with a product which needed heavy development and little marketing and initial high level negotiations with other companies.
