Wow, that's 1/3 of jolla price...
That price is for China, wondering what price it would get in EU and NA.

Even I am pissed by the behaviour of Jolla, I need to admit that a company of that size cannot compete with that.
And especially if you like to get it running an OS of your choice. If you like a cheap Android (free of charge OS) then go for it ...

When you buy Jolla, you're not just buying the hardware, you're also subsidising Sailfish OS development costs, salaries for staff (which in Finland are higher to begin with), rent for the HQ and everything in between. When more devices are sold, this part (as a share of the cost price) can be significantly lowered.

Whilst all that ^^ is true, it is a fallacy to assume that:
Sale price = Production cost + ProfitIn fact, it is the reverse:
Profit = Sale price - Production costThis is because the producer does not dictate the sale price. The only part of the equasion that the producer can influence is the production cost. The sale price is dictated by what the market can bear. As we could see from the India launch, Jolla is quite capable of dropping the price to accommodate the market. They just had not feelt that pressure in Europe for a while.

I wonder how many of the tablet supporters are new customers. I am willing to bet 30 Altarian dollars that not more than 50%. My estimate is <20%.
