For all you know it's still coming, waiting for the right deal.

They opened another tranche of pre-orders towards the end of the summer, not before. Also, of course they knew. The whole point of the separation of the company into two businesses, as I said at the time, was to deal with debt and losses incurred on various deals and the disastrously still extant inventory of Jolla Phones.

P.S. Per my other prediction, if they are to come out of this (even temporarily), I still think they have to wind up the hardware division completely.
