Do you think this will be a deal with network or a standalone 399 Euro deal¿

- Or is it just quicker to do it in Finland at this stage and that's why they are doing it?
- Why won't they include EU? You can always buy from within the EU, get it shipped [at a higher cost] and be done with it.
mail says:
*The second wave pre-order campaign is currently only available in Finland. Campaign info for other markets will be announced in the future.

They'd like to concentrate on theire home country fist, where is the problem... Btw: I live in Germany.
I think "mrsellout" explained it very well.
So I think its good strategy. make sure finnish people buys the spread the world

I know Jolla has an agreement with the finnish TELCO operator DNA and this 2nd preorder might a set deal between them.
Propably the event will be announced with DNA, and orders taken via DNA, hence finland only.

That didn't work out that well in the end (and arguably not in the beginning, or in the middel of it either)
Lets hope that Jolla does better.

I was on a trip there (in my home country) when the news hit the stage.
"Elop earned 19 Million in three years for selling out nokia..:"
y'should have seen the 16 page special issue in finnish "iltasanomat", which corresponds to the german BILD (or maybe US NY Post / USA today// british SUN) whining bout the sell-out of the leading innovator / saviour of finnish economy / finnish soul and spinning conspiracy theories bout elop/ms having planned this all way long.
just rememeber, Finland has the highest number of cell phones per capita, so I could bet we'll meet the "other half" in user numbers (jolla vs appledroidwindows)..
I'm shure this is an excellent strategy stepstone, just you non-fins be cool and wait a little more, when this awesome idea succeeds in finland, it will do so in the world (just as nokia did in the past).
