The mail says that If I can't make it they will send instructions on how to complete the order online and get it shipped.

And you're rigth about the 0€ preorders and preorders outside europe.

i don't understand the stress most of you got lately... for me it doesn't matter if the phone arrives on November 27th, December 7th or December 14th... no problem, to use N9 / N900 some weeks longer.

and if they manage to push out a second device with high specs 1 year after the first one: great! I'll buy it, given the first one was good...

Me too, but again, I don't intend to fly from UK to Finland just to collect a new phone. I am really looking forward to receiving my Jolla, but I am more than happy to wait for the priority mail.

Jolla should really send devices according to preorder dates. These 450 is fine. But after that please act as a professionals. This give users no reason to preorder jolla products in the future since you can get it faster anyway

I got one.

Finn: Yes
DNA sign up : No
Jolla preorder: 100€, 1st round

Do you happen to remember when you placed your order? The first day?

I placed mine on the first day (100€) if that's any help, but not Finland.

I also ordered on the first day, 100€ option, also not Finland

Of course you think it's not proper form. But they're a company of ~90 folks that's pulled off quite the engineering feat in 2 years - they're shipping a device.

So they're not shipping in my area. Cool. But they're shipping. It'll be staged. Cool. That means that it's still coming.

I'm personally not a fan of how they're communicating to the masses - it's not amplified as much as say Android or iPhone announcements, but again... they're a ~90 person company. The fact that I've heard of it, already a fan of it and trying to make my Z10 last long enough to get one... that says something.

Want to do something constructive? Spread the word. Want to continue down a path of this negativity - although I'm quoting you, I'm referencing the entire thread - then so be it. But understand that your voice this early in the game for Jolla is loud and might be damaging.

Will they have bugs? Yep. It's a 1.0 product. I cannot name one 1.0 product that I've been 100% happy with. Ever. And that's including stuff I've done...

But if you want to help them strategize how to make it up with the initial 40/100 Euro pre-sales, then I'd love to hear it. Let the first 450 be sold. I'd love to see that the people that were there "on day one" get something special. Special color, special backgrounds, special box, a special notice... all of that can make the experience different and "worth it" for those that have pre-purchased.

I put in my pre-purchase, but I didn't exactly send any money. I showed my interest. And will continue to do so. I hope others embrace what Jolla is attempting, spread the good word. Something cool could happen. And just perhaps there's more announcements about the aftermath of the November 27/450 sales, we might be getting something special.

Or not. Either way, who cares? Something is coming that's not iPhone, Android or WP8. That, I can get 100% behind.

me, too. pre order startet on 20.05 - 100€ paypal (Germany)

its su@#s a little bit.
