Jolla quit the HW business one year ago, so face it - they have little interest in selling more. In this case, they do what people asked them to do and act as a limited shipping service for the Intex phone.

I don't understand this discussion - why do people have a problem with them doing that? If you don't like it, don't participate in the program - it's as simple as that.

I know for sure that the phone wouldn't have cost 169EUR if there was warranty included. I am investing in this device/program to be able to develop some *free* apps, as my Jolla broke a week ago. I just rerouted the money I got from the tablet (which was a IndieGogo donation that for whatever reason got refunded), so I again expect nothing for that money. If something goes wrong, so be it. If nothing goes wrong, I will be able to use and develop on a device that I would not have a chance to obtain otherwise.

So what is your problem, people?


Keep pushing, try to find legal caviats, push for providing a warranty... What is going to be the result? We're not going to get the device. Is that the end of the world? No. But it is unnecessary.
The question is what Jolla trying to achieve here?

To keep at least 1 available phone in the market? Than they should produce proper phone
To support developers and community? They should give those devices for people who are developers and support for paid apps they are working on for more than 2 years

this device is not a last chance if your Jolla breaks, as there are only 1K devices, no warranty and if it breaks too - you do not get anything instead. So basically you would spend money of the loyal customer while leaving customer in the same place.

I think Jolla should think of their future and start doing something. Those half-done jobs are lack of "other half" which leads to that they are waisting their and customer's time and money. And all the customers get back is mostly "idea" of their "proper OS" (still closed btw).
