If you want the latest octo-core monster with a 5"+ display - then just buy the latest Android device.

If you're Lumiaman - then just get a Windows Phone.
Yap, and if you like to be domineered by your phone, then buy an iPhone

What more do you need to know? Seriously I don't think we will get more than that. If people expect QWERTY or similar crazy stuff they are very naive, like kids who beleive in Santa Claus.
I think I'm being pretty clear, I have many other expenses in my life right now, 100euro is a lot to outlay ATM, especially when there's still so many unknowns.
I find it amusing that some here are accusing me (of all users) of being a "troll", or not a "true supporter"...
I'll most likely buy one no matter what, & I'd like to support them much earlier, but I'm not comfortable doing that until we know at least a bit more about their plans.
Closing-off the pre-order before at least some of the unknowns are cleared-up, puts me in a conflicted position...

Hey, Guys. I have created a phone, called UnknownPhone. Give me 100 Euros and I will send you a phone in 6 month if you pay me another 299 Euro. You will get a 100 Euro discount and pay no more than 399 plus delivery costs. (maybe a bit more later, we will see)

Spec:
dual core - Yes.
OS - Yes
Screen - Yes
Battery - Yes
Camera - Yes
backside(called the other side) - Yes
is it used by dave999? - Yes

Just PM and give me the money you will get an UnknownPhone device to your shipping address in a few month. If you Pre-order I will even send you a T-shirt as well.


Join the UnKnown, Its a kickAss phone!
It's a movement!

The core specs aren't my primary concern any more (except for maybe TOH & a "true HD" res), but I didn't expect you to get that, Dave

@jaylist: Speculation or not, I guess you can come up with quite a few reasons why they have a deadline for preordering. If I may, here's my list: keep a shroud of exclusiveness, draw out interest, determine the amount of t-shirts and "exclusive other halves" they have to produce, get a bit of extra funding. If they extend the deadline, people, like you, will delay their preorder.

Also, if specs are not your primary concern, then what is? The OS itself is pretty much clear right now. The only thing unclear, afaic, is the quality of the default apps and support for open standards for PIM,VoIP, chat, sharing, streaming.

For me the €100 preorder is of course a gamble, but given the other choices in the market right now I find it hard to believe Jolla will mess up that much that I would want an Android (or null forbid, worse) instead. [edit] Even then, I expect the hardware to be open enough to be able to flash FirefoxOS, UbuntuOS or Android on it. That will probably void the functionality of the other half though.

Also, the €0 option is risk-free.

Because of the price! Now STOP beleive in Santa Claus. Whats possible with other Half does not mean you will get this for 100 EUR option. It may be an OPTION to buy that later not something you get for free

Income is always valid point to wait for sure. I am not trying to convince people to buy. Just saying some people are to much dreamers about what they expect from a newcomer and if income is an issue people should wait whatever they(or any other company) will release.

So buying stuff because of specs when income is an issue is bad whatever it is. So I hope you did not take my message is directly pointed to you even if I replyed you.

I dont believe in santa. Santa is a fat corporate marketing trick created by coca cola.

I do believe however that some people here have issues. And in the easterbunny. He's real.
Now good luck with your little thread which, once again, changed into a endless list of moaning and bitchin by a couple of users.. Seems to happen quite often here last couple off months.

Where is my Jolla phone? I want a lime green backside and a very small frame. I want to see the new frame.
