Hariainm: Are there any other options? At least it's dual core. Better than N9.

I think tizen device can be an option, and also Ubuntu. Lot's of great stuff can arrive in 6 months.

Or, does it mean that you can get the phone pre-ordered with price 299 e price + all the added stuff? That sounds too cheap, so I guess the option #1 is the right one.

So far they are pure vaporware. Jolla at least has concrete hardware to show.

Agreed, But to say there is no alternatives are too fanboyish. There is always alternatives. And again, Lots of stuff can happen from now until jolla devices hits my hand

“Countries supported for the Limited ed. Jolla + Other Half (100€) pre-order package at the time of opening May 20, 2013 include Finland, Sweden, Denmark, United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, France, and Italy. We’re opening further European countries very soon, stay tuned!

For Limited ed. Jolla + T-Shirt (40€) and 0€ pre-order packages we support global pre-ordering, and yet availability of the Jolla device will decided based on demand from each country solely in discretion of Jolla Ltd. For the 40€ package we’ll always ship the T-shirt to your selected global address.”

So if you’re not lucky enough to live in one of those 8 countries you can’t pre-order with the otherhalf, but you can pre-order the limited edition handset for 40€?
And if it turns out availability for your country never comes, you’ll have paid 40€ for just a t-shirt?

Again, it's not a device for me, which makes me sad, because i wanted it was
I don't like the bezels either, but I will tolerate them if it means the device gets proper support. The N9 was a disgrace in this regard.

There's lots of cryptic hints from Jolla about a keyboard. The fact that they are responding so positively and cryptically suggests to me that a keyboard is already in the works (if it hasn't already been created). If we don't show our support for this device (even with the caveat of there being a HWKB), then we're definitely not going to see anything.

You can pre-order with no money down you know. Write to them through mail or on Twitter to show your support for Jolla+Keyboard. You cannot be heard if you do not speak.

The design is kind of disappointing, the device UI is developed upon swiping and one hand usage and yet it's corners are not rounded (same problem with N9). I must agree that the front look while device is powered looks kind of cheap due to big bezels. They should fix their promo pictures, kind of misleading.

Yeah, I have read that. But what's the "100 voucher"? I pay now 100 e and get it later deducted? Or I purchase when the phone comes out and get 100 e deducted then (so I pay only 299 e for promising to buy the phone for sure)? Or do I get some kind of gift card to Jolla shop?

Maybe it's just me, but for me "100 e voucher" among with other stuff sounds like I get something worth of 100 e, not for paying now 100 e. As I said, I'm confused.
