why not try htc 10? better than s7 IMHO, already tested them both

Notice the program run till 2017. I expect them to run another batch after this one is bought.

I hope so as well.

On the other hand, I don't think it would be a good idea for them to make more.

First, they make no profit from it, as mentioned in their FAQ.


Second, I don't think there will be many more than 1000 developers for SailfishOS in Europe (or enthusiasts that don't expect much) and since Jolla went all the way to put their branding on it (they could have just resold the Intex phone without any changes, as many of us expected) it could hurt their brand pretty bad if large number of these devices ended up in the hands of regular customers.

Sure, people will now click "I agree" to all the no-support/no-warranty conditions, but remember what happened with the crowdfunding campaign - all contributors agreed that their contribution is a pure donation, but then many of them went on their crusade against Jolla for failing to fulfill the goal. Some of them continue after the refund announcement, even though refunding donations is highly uncommon.
I think similar stuff will happen if Jolla C gets in the hands of broad public - people think differently when they are excited for a new product and when the phone they paid for is broken without any chance of repair.

And I'm saying that as someone who just agreed to those terms
