What I remember about my first experiences with N9 two years ago: N9 PR1.0 had much more bugs than Jolla and PR1.1 was a huge improvement over PR1.0.

Based on what reads on the papers in the international shipments it seems that DHL Supply Chain is actually packing and providing the packages to FedEx. It might be that Jolla is still flashing the phones or they have also outsourced that to DHL Supply Chain.

The picture provided by Jolla is probably about sailors flashing the first 450 phones sold at Helsinki Narinkkatori to the first preorderers.

WLAN works for me. You are using "edge" case of WLAN. If I remember correctly N900 and/or N9 didn't also support your case at the beginning.

My N9 was highly usable with PR 1.0. After I updated to PR1.1 I barely noticed the difference.

WPA EAP is a standard, broadly used and nothing new.

It's not like it's neccesary to inventing the wheel from scratch for every new device ... wpa_supplicant + clients (wicd,networkmanager) already support it out of the box.
And also not to make the same mistakes Nokia made in the past (now they're more or less non-existant, guess why)

I'd say WPA-PEAP isn't an "edge" case of WLAN, even if a minority case. It's quite common in academic (eduroam, more than 5000 networks in 54 countries) and corporate settings. Anyhow, as far as I understand, connman and wpa_supplicant both support WPA-PEAP, so it should be no more than a UI issue.

Even an offer to start a bugzilla for Jolla was met with the response "we have no time to read it" which borders on arrogance.
This is becoming hyperbolic. Android, Windows Phone and iOS all launched with major bugs and missing features.

Jolla is a tiny company who are being honest about their bug tracking limitations and they're being attacked for that. I would rather them tell me the truth than have them put up a false facade.

Yes, exactly what I was thinking. The rounded shape of the Pre 3 or N9 really make a difference to everyday use.

And after nearly two years with an N9 the biggest adjustment for me is moving from mostly one handed use to almost always needing both hands.

Yes, I know very well. I have used eduroam and I have been a very little piece of building it.

I still consider WPA-PEAP an edge case for "normal" people.

We obviously then used different feature sets
