I've just finalized my Jolla phone purchase
I've got nothing more to say. I guess I'm just excited. Another quarter year until shipment, but I guess I will forget about it as I did before and then again be surprised 😅

The hardware looks great. I figure it's about time for saturated colors to come back into tech after a decade of shades of black and white.
Totally agree. I am waiting for the reviews!
I mean, you can switch in this case. The back cover is just a cover. You can buy all the colors if you want to.
Tbh, i would have loved a pastel-tinted transparent shell
Who knows, maybe it will come. The cover is exchangeable.
It looks great except they still haven't announced what the screen refresh rate will be... If it's 60/90hz I might have to skip, no matter how good it is otherwise
Well, it really doesnt matter for majority of us. As long its. Cheap and privacy focused we are good
I pre-ordered at the start, but opted to cancel.
There were a couple of question marks over chip manufacture and compatibility via the Android layer that i wasn't sure about, and it hit me that what i really wanted was to distance myself entirely from the pocket computer.
I've got a de-googled, open source tablet if i need to do anything, a computer, and a phone if i want to make or receive a call.
Keeping me hooked into the 24 hour news cycle, surveillance capitalist drama, isn't something i should be nurturing.
Same. Really looking forward to it
Headphone jack?
Sadly not, but they are planning to have an ... attachment to increase interoperability.

Me too
I'm kinda afraid, that some stuff won't work and I can't keep it as a daily driver, but at the same time I'm super hyped 😁
To be honest, I'm not expecting it to be my daily driver, but I'd be pleasantly surprised if.
Oh, come on, don't kill my dream of having a fully functional Linux phone with Android App support ;-)
At least it's my plan to use it as a daily driver
As just a gimmick, it would be too expensive. So yeah, I really hope to replace my Android phone with it.
Maybe I need to get a TAN generator for my bank account, but else, I think, I should be fine with it
At least I hope so - and my hopes are really up ;-)
But maybe I'm just too hyped at the moment...
Behold, there might be good news coming!

Holy fuck, yes please!!
You could import it yourself, the hardware should be working.
Will it support the el-north american bands?

However,
So the same availability as the other non- apple and non-google offerings.
I guess my options to get a user respecting phone include picking one up if I vacation in Europe one day...
Absolutely this. Roaming in America is not the same as available to people living in America.
Yes and no. "Not available" in this context means "you have to import it yourself" (paying tariffs etc.)
There is as far as I can tell no reason for it to not work with an American SIM card.
I should have added their site. Thank you 💖
only 502 pre ordered :( i wonder if they'll ship to Australia
Yes, but that is, I think, batch number three. The others are finalized already.
And I guess they only ship to: EU, UK, Norway and Switzerland. At least for now.
And based on demand they're willing to make a US specific model.
And how do you get demand when you don't sell a phone there.
Good question, in that same section it says to subscribe to show interest. But no way to show I'm interested in a US version.
