It's not the quickest charger either. A 30-minute charge will give roughly just over 10%, which is not great if you've forgotten to charge it overnight and don't have much time in the morning to power it up.
I am almost sure they used the 1A charger and I don't think they are the ones to blame.

That's why I disagree with the decision of not including the charger. Of course it has nothing to do with "saving the environment" - it is just about saving the costs for Jolla, which is fine, but they should admit it and not cover it with any "it's not a bug, it's a feature" nonsense.

I don't think many people have 2A chargers lying around - I don't suspect most people even to know the difference between those chargers. Sure, many people have some 1A chargers lying around (not me - each Raspberry Pi you buy eats one phone charger, when you sell an old device, you sell it with a charger, etc., so chargers are just a commodity which need a constant inflow ), but I think they will be just as happy with the performance, as the reviewer.

Charging a tablet with a phone charger is a pain. I often remember how my HP Touchpad was discharging faster than the phone charger could charge it. I'm glad I still have a 2A charger from those times - I'd be really mad if I didn't.

Not including an appropriate charger is just a shot in the foot by Jolla - reviewers and users will reflect it in their feedback.
