Yes. I think I got it not long after it was released. I do remember it being a bit pricey, buying from mobile city online. Can't recall the exact price right now but it was somewhere between 6 and 7 hundred dollars. Dang! Fool that I am. I must have paid way too much. I think I also saw it for sale at Popular Electronics (importer of electronics based in Chicago) but it was even more expensive there.

Man, it's my favorite phone and daily driver to this day, but when i look back and see i paid about that for two at release, it stings. I can't remember if the Elopcalypse made me think this thing would be impossible to find, and i think i had no confidence that the one i imported from Singapore wasn't a scam before ordering one from a stateside vendor as back up.

Glad i can say after all these years i got my money's worth at least.

My only question now is why did you have to pull and distribute 37 N9's. It sounds like you were distributing contraband. I just ordered mine at mobile city online (based in NYC). Think it was a model originally sold in Singapore...

LOL!

This was before the shops picked it up in that one Chicago store or online deliverable to the US. Contraband... pretty damn close. But folks wanted them, I had access in a few key markets, so I helped where I could.

Didn't get the Singapore models though, not for trying.

They have proved to me that they don't tell the true to its customers or investors and they would not deliver tablet even if they have the money, which they did have. And It would be nice if a bigger company took over to take sailfish to the next level, hardware and money for control over sailfish, partly or the whole. The cofounders can go and play somewhere else plz. A mature hour is over. Will not forgive them until they deliver tablet, until then they are accountable for the failing project.

So... I assume since "mature hour" is over, we can anticipate more childish antics? Let me go grab my popcorn.

At least antti is left trying to fix the mess and I hope he succeed.

And let's hope he's successful not only for your precious tablet; but for the engineers that are currently not currently employed. Seriously Dave, think outside of yourself my friend.

You are not better than your last game!
You are not better than your last project!
You are not better than your last product!
You are not better than your last line of code!

Yep, mature hour has indeed passed.

Haha...I thought you would pick on that so I left it to see if you would focus on the discussion or some misspelled words by the phone/me. Got ya!

I think it's safe to say that more antics will appear in thread before tablet appears or the fat lady sings. The last chapter in this tablet story is not written yet...hope to get some good Intel tomorrow after the community meeting. We need some solid leads how Jolla planning to fix this...

If Jolla manage to get a partner on board like antti said in last blog post Jolla could trade the OS for 10000 devices or discount for the backers with the amount. Would be cool as well.

With respect to the Tablet's future, it's pretty simple. If they get more money, they'll be able to ship the tablets. If they don't, they won't.

Ahh...have some faith. Never say never. Jolla still got an OS to barging with. That must count for something.

Dave, there's a reason nobody has thanked you for any of your last 10 posts. Just give it a rest!

I won't rest until we got the tablet(or substitute) or I'm fluent in English or whichever comes first.

Thanks? Don't worry about thanks man. It means nothing(unless Gerbick wants to race to 20K). How else would I have almost 5000.
