So let me get this straight. Jolla are bringing out new device that is only available through a community programme. It is not possible to purchase the device but you can get it for free without a warranty by registering for the programme for a fee of €169. It is claimed that the programme is for developers and contributors yet there is no validation to see if members are actually developers or contributors. The only way to obtain this device is by joining this programme and accepting that it comes with no warranty. The terms and conditions refer to this so called programme as a "product". You cannot make changes or cancel your "product order".

The fact that there is no way to obtain the device other than through this programme, coupled with the fact that it is actually available to anyone, not just developers and contributors, suggests to me that this is merely a way of selling a device without a warranty disguised as a programme in order to cover their arses.

I never once thought that Jolla were trying to scam anyone with the tablet campaign. I can't really say the same anymore.
