To permanently lower the price two days later to €249,- makes the discount code "system" (like HtheB so eloquently puts it ) bullsht.

I just noticed that I never got any discount code from my TOHKBD2 purchase. Not needed really either, since I already have a Jolla device but strange if you all others have received it...

It was sent via a project update to everyone titled 'Jolla discount coupon'. Seems like for some people the updates go straight to the spam folder

you people sometimes find strange things to be mad/disappointed/sad about. i dont see how 100E discounts or 100E pricelowerings can be anything but positive. it may be weird how they did it and communicated it, but the result is the same low price.
Well, you could look at it from another point of view: Jolla already planned to lower the price after xmas (totally standard behaviour) and wanted to ensure that people buying the phone earlier because of Dirk's kickstarter won't get disappointed by this.
Honestly, if they give a 100€ discount for buying a third-party-product, it's quite clear a price cut is near. Same for giving out the discount codes to jolla owners before. I guess with their help most people here on TMO would have been able to buy the device for 249€ anyway, with or without keyboard OH.

And I do know at least one person, which got so upset by these strange discount actions and the following discussions/behaviour of their (Nokia style) customer care, that he sent it back to Jolla.
Apart from finalizing update10, we will start the following activities:
...
- start the work on platform UI scalability, beginning with making
icons resolution independent and improving layout scaling.

So millions of iPhone users should also sent their smartphones back because the price falls after 6-12 months. What a problem...
So, people here complained because Jolla smartphone price was EUR350-400. Now people complain that Jolla smartphone costs only EUR249.
My opinion is that Jolla smartphone at EUR249 means :
1) Jolla wants to sell more smartphones at reduced price to cover the gap until Jolla 2 smartphone is selling;
2) a new Jolla 2 smartphone is due to be announced in the following months (MWC 2015 ?);
3) Jolla 2 smartphone to be released depending on the new display resolution for Sailfish OS (2.0 ?) being ready (in mid 2015 ?).Jolla cited in 06/11/2014 :
So the work on Sailfish OS 2.0 for Jolla tablet will be useful to Jolla 2 smartphone.
