How do you get invites?
Finns only?
DNA sign up?
Random jolla orders?

I am glad to hear that people invited are a part of the first preorder.

I was under impression that today's announcement didn't take 'The First Ones' into consideration. It would make sense to start shipping on the 27th - it is not their fault I don't live in Helsinki and it might take few days to ship it to the Czech Republic.

@JollaHQ So the Nov 27th event is for the 450 Finns who are part of the first pre-order?

@decibyte Yes."

@JollaHQ Great! I think you should announce that explicitly, to avoid a lot of confusion and bad energy on this great day

@decibyte It is said in the announcement: http://www.dna.fi/en/dnagroup/press/...er%202013.aspx …"


Don´t know how the 450 are chosen, but I would guess them being the first 450 Finns who chose the 100e pre-order.

Bellyaching about not getting an invite/announcement/email about the first 450 shouldn't really be amplified. If anything, the way that w00t has taken to this thread and clarified things in a very clear and concise manner is greatly appreciated. That's the part that should be listened to...

Thanks for the clarifications and setting a lot of details straight.

Personally I think it's poor form, if we're only talking about 450 units surely they could've afforded to send them equally to all corners of the earth*, seems like bias against non-Finns & those who didn't lay down $100EUD. It should've been a mixture of people from around the world who were in the 1st pre-order campaign, some who donated $100/40, & some who didn't. It's not a huge deal, but I do think it's pretty insensitive, especially for a tiny start-up that regularly likes to chant about being in touch with emotions & caring. Anyway, hopefully later I'll have time raise more important concern/criticisms relating some of w00ts points, bed time.

*it's not like they'd be completely subsidising shipping costs, or giving the items away for free

Concur! We need more wOOt and less what in this thread.

"- Suunnittelemme silti päivittävämme laitteistoa ensi vuoden toisella puoliskolla, jotta pysymme mukana rautapuolen kilpailussa, Saarnio kertaa."

Rough translation: We´re nevertheless planning to update the hardware during the second half of next year to keep us in the hardware competition, Saarnio concludes.

Before that he says that TOH gives the device a bit longer shelf life than normal phones, hence the "nevertheless".

"Saarnion mukaan yhtiö aikoo julkaista joka kuukausi uuden version Sailfish-käyttöjärjestelmästään. "

They´re planning to update a new version of Sailfish every month.

Unfortunately, my knowledge/speciality areas are limited to the software area (and a little bit on hardware, as it relates to software) so I'm not the best person to speak here. I'll make sure that the right people are told though.

If they really think TOH gives them breathing room to delay spec bumps they're completely deluded.
Not that TOH implementation, sorry, if it was something more aggressive, maybe... def. bed time.

Woot What hw related stuff can be updated later this year.can you open and add more ram?

Why note be the first componyto offer free he upgrade
