I will buy it when it arrives, unless there are reports of significant manufacturing defects from the fanb, err.. I mean pre-order guys.

Problem with this approach is: if you cannot click a button for 0$ informing them of your interest, only being interested after they arrive... they might never arrive. Your interest might go unnoticed. Didn't notice any mention that by clicking preorder for 0$ you are obliged to pay them the 400 euros later. (never clicked this option, so not sure, maybe they expect a signature in blood, in that case I'm sorry)

I dream that both the Canonical and Jolla could succeed in the phone/tablet space - variety is the spice of life and technology!

I'm happy to register my interest, but not to part with money until I at least get more solid information on shipment dates and device specifications. There are still a lot of things that can go wrong, and I can't justify betting 100 euros on them shipping a device. If they are relying on advanced pre-order funds in order to produce and ship the devices (and I doubt they are), then for me that is another reason not to give it to them. I'm nowhere near rich enough to be able to treat relatively wealthy people like a charity case.We know these guys are talented engineers, but we don't know about their grasp of the more mundane stuff, like manufacturing and logistics. At this stage, I'd rather wait and see.
