I personally would have chosen the tablet, but now I get a refund in two parts. Like few others in this thread.

Taking part into crowd funding projects as a "client" is a risky business. I have some experience from Kickstarter. Not all the projects end well. I have partaken in a one particular project which on my account ended well (got the product, 1,5 years late), but there are still people waiting for theirs, and it is now over 2 years ago. The company stopped answering to e-mails, phone calls, Facebook ... about 4 moths ago, but apparently they are still continuing business. A sad story.

Jolla tablet project did not go well, but it now looks it ends in a way we can live with. At least I can.

Have you considered, that with around 600 devices, the Jolla tablet is going to be a real collector's item. So treat them well. Remember to store the retail-box and all accessories.

I hope Jolla will succeed well enough so that we get more devices with Sailfish OS. I try quite hard to by devices which run some form of GNU/Linux (not Android), and if we have Sailfish live and kicking, choosing a new phone in the future is much easier.
