From the video, min. 19.40 , I understand that they had 12.000 reservations. They lost 10.000 of them due bla bla bla, remaining with 2000 preorders and later they lost another 30% due delays. Only 70% of these committed to buy.
So, 1400 TRI phones should be shipped. BUT, not in one batch.
By your calculation that would be 980, not 1400 then.

Do you seriously think that any remotely sane person would go ahead with supposedly de-mothballing an ex Nokia factory on those numbers, and sending out an additional cheapo Chinese OEM version?

The level of delusion remains obscene here.

What kind of batches are we talking .. it would be rather surprising if they received less than a couple of hundred phones in a batch ... even if it was a quarter of that you'd expect many more reports to surface of end-users receiving them. Instead we have one guy here and two highly dubious twitter accounts, plus an Ebay listing.

Literally every level of this stinks. Why do you think the press have stopped covering them?
