1. Do we know about any end-of-support date for Jolla Phone? There is about two years since the release date so unfortunately it might be soon.

2. Can I lost warranty due to some software modifications?

You can reset to factory defaults as long as you didn't mess up the filesystem and bootloader. So you can still get it out of a reboot loop, for example.

I consider buying the Jolla Phone and I have a few questions.
Unfortunately on the official site the phone is currently out of stock but I hope it will be back some day.

Regarding the 1st question.
I asked about software updates (and those end time). Is it known?
Sorry for the previous inaccurate question.
Regarding the 3rd question.
So (if I understand right some informations read here and there) we can restore default settings only through such an option in settings (if the device boots up) or through recovery. Am I right?

2. Yes, Factory reset is available thru phone menu, or if phone wont start, recovery. Recovery saves a lot of situations, but, you CAN mess up so that even recovery wont help.
