I also thought the "final solution" was odd. I would expect the web shop orders to be the first to receive the goods. Not only would that be (at least legally) more kosher, it would also be easier for Jolla logistically. Instead of sending the web shoppers the 100% refund they allegedly don't have, they can send them the tablets they do, saving (number of web shoppers) x (50% of refund price).

Well, even amongst the web shoppers some would get the tablet (full value of purchase) and others would get the 1/2 refund with the promise of the remaining refund. Although maybe more kosher legally, as you say, I do not think it is equitable even amongst the web shoppers. I still prefer that everyone get the refund. If it is too much trouble to sell the 500 tablets maybe just have a random drawing for them or do something more creative. Also selecting those that ordered first in the campaign favors those locally. I bought one as soon as I read about it in the morning but still my order was around #1500. Oh, well, I'm not sure why I even bother. It is what it is and there is no perfect solution. Just another disappointment. Like the n950...
