Seriously, take $5, 5 Euro and buy a proper charger. If you don't know that a tablet requires 2.0A or higher, then you don't need a tablet. I remember when Apple was getting away with charging folks in the EU crazy amounts more for their computers because of the myriad of plugs, voltage support, et al.

Whining over it is just childish. Most of you guys have had a tablet at least once, if not, welcome to your first one. Now get a proper charger.

This will be my first tablet. Just because I don't have a charger and have stated that I wish the Jolla would come with one makes me neither childish nor a whiner.

One deserves a tablet if one pays for it, that's all. And if it doesn't come with a charger, then it needs to come with a clear specification for the user. None of this 'you should just know, dumbass,' stuff.

Finally, there would be (almost) zero complaints if it was stated upfront: 'Charger not included. 2A micro USB charger (ir whatever) required.' Many non-childish non-whiners simply feel that mentioning the non-inclusuon if a charger as an 'oh, by the way . . .' several months after they paid is merely a way of cutting costs by leaving out mandatory accessories.

Still looking forward to my tablet, even if it requires having my maturity, intelligence and character questioned.
