However, is it really that bad? You could try installing Android x86 on the thing. It might just work quite well - provided the thing isn't horribly locked down.Good to hear BQ is shipping. Seems like the delay is limited to a week. Jolla could learn something from that

But perhaps not; Microsoft demands a TPM on those tablets, which might lock them down just as hard. Boo Microsoft!

Looks like a cool first tablet. Will be intresting to see how Ubuntu keep shaping the OS. So far so good, but with all new OS there is a lot of room for improvement.

Seems like I'm being ignored by lancewax. My offer was indeed genuine. If you dislike it that much, I'll gladly take it off of your hands especially if you're unwilling to even turn it on.

So rude of me to ignore your attempt at getting free stuff. Despite my distaste for MS I could still obviously sell it to recoup some of my money.

I got one. So not ready for release. It looks nice, seems decently constructed, and battery life isn't bad. But so many issues. It doesn't even come with a file browser or terminal installed. Yes, you can install them. But the file browser available is very limited. It can't copy and paste more than one file at a time. The OS creates a folder structure on your microSD card whether you want it to or not. Apps can't see the microSD card. Audio does not sync when watching Youtube--despite the browser being pretty decent over all. No bluetooth tethering for data. The auto-diming feature of the display is uncomfortably sudden and too frequent. A lot of little things like this are annoying. I really hope there are some quick updates, because it does not feel ready.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Sailfish. Be grateful your WiFi password was not too difficult to type, otherwise you would have noticed and mentioned it too (the box to type it in times out, which Einstein came up with that idea?).
OTOH, you can select multiple files in File Browser. You need to tap on the icon, not the file name.
