is that even legal what Jolla is doing?
Or maybe I'm just being too cynical.

I'm also looking to buy a battery. I gave my Jolla to my mother a few months ago and she's complaining about the battery dying. The fact that I can't buy a replacement battery is horrific. When it's easier for me to replace the battery in my iPhone, something has gone horribly wrong.
Some messages from her (edited for readability):
1. This battery is dying, just thought I'd let you know.
2. Can you order a new battery for this phone and send it to my house?
3. YOUR PHONE IS LIVING OFF THE MAINS HELP

Like what, provide a crappy service? I don't think there is a law against it. Customers usually vote with their wallets - which, if you think about it, they prety much did in Jolla's case (just look around you and count the Jollas).
Sadly for us, fewer customers results in an ever crappier customer service

Solution to Jollas weird battery issue is to support SailfishosOS on Nexus5
The Nexus5 has a 'non-removable' battery but you can replace it by yourself easily
Edit: Wrong copy / paste link.

Hope you asked them why, if this was the case, their own website continues to advertise the Jolla as having a "User-replaceable battery"
"Sorry for this situation. We hope, if you some day see the batteries are available, you purchase one and boot up your Jolla again"
(translated by me)
