At least for now the Jolla is among top searches as shown below the search box on snapdeal.

If jolla had named it jPhone some Customer might buy it and thought it was an iPhone made by Apple. Some low hanging fruit for jolla 
where is TOMI CEO? Maybe he should show his face at least once a year. Now he has a chance to reach a few more customer. Launch in India. But noo...
On a more serious note. Any Indians buying the jolla today?
I hope the comments here Ali aren't the average opinion in India...

how people can call them low quality or 'budget' and simultaneously defend the Jolla from similar criticism is beyond me.

$270 vs £270 (current amazon price).
i suspect the indian price would translate to £200 after adjustments for VAT.
it's still £66 too steep compared to the compeition (hello Moto G2), but i'd probably still get one for the sailfish factor.
anyone should be able to appreciate that double the price for half the hardware isn't good enough.
give us the indian price jolla.

(and as an ex-Motorola fan I will also add to this: screw you Google, you turned Motorola into a cheap *** company with lame designs, I want the old Motorola (preferably w/o Android) back)

I thought that Google no longer owns Motorola.

A brief look at the spec looks like it has a slower CPU, half the RAM and no LTE. The 5" screen is also a bit of a turn off for me. The previous gen had a 720p screen but smaller.
That's leaving aside that I'd rather Jolla got my money than Google and all the software and design differences which people seem to be casting aside like they aren't important.
The G looks like a good phone for the money if you want an Android phone. Of you don't though...
