What I think is a bit fishy is that they are looking for people and hiring but isn't looking for investors or atleast have some inormation or phone number.
I really want to know who is pushing the money.

I think it's just normal message body text formatted in similar way than those thank you lists. However the font is larger and if somebody actually thanks Dave, the name won't be displayed in same context. This was the case in same previous post.
So it's just kind of clever trolling.

It all sounds too good to be true, I really hope they're not getting ahead of themselves.
First phone to push out quickly to gain some shelf-space, liquidity, PR, etc.
Given their size I don't think this have to be enormous success.
50 thousands of simpler device (smartphone a la N9) should be enough to keep company going (even if not profitable - just to 'show promise' and get more financing).
It will give time to prepare more ambitious model (mobile computer a la N900) and start to work on second generation of consumer smartphone.

So my guess is they know what their doing and what limitations are. BUT market is unpredictable they could gain huge success or go under quickly.
MeeGo community is quite big and i will definitely buy their phone, like i think many others will too

Maybe, just maybe, Jolla has enough finances to go through this first phase (actually I think their CEO said this on some interview) and they'll be looking for investors when they have some actual work done and it's easier to land some real money to the company.
