@jolla when will start delivering of batch one? What is the special backover? If its community driven, pls let the community know.
@jamaew @jolla The first phones will be handed over to attendees at the Jolla Phone Day1 in Helsinki on July 8th
@anv3745 @jolla yep i know, 100 pieces or so? But what about the remaining 2.600?
@jolla would be fair if shipping starts at least on 8. of July
@jolla proud to be in batch#1 ❤️

@jolla I salute your effort! 🙂👍

I wonder if there will ever be a true competitor to Android or iOS?

Your next batch is 2000 phones. That's what Apple sells in six minutes 😳😉

@jabgoe2089 For obvious reasons. One sells 50.000.000 devices every three months. The other sells 20.000 in 12 months.

Which eco-system will developers choose?

@Søren Ladegaard so they should stop because apple sells more? or people should stop buying this because apple sells more? when i buy a phone by apple, will it be apple-free? or google-free?

@jabgoe2089 That's not what I am saying.

I use /e/os myself on a Fairphone. And Linux on my laptop.

But for eg. the Danish government to create apps for a third system they need a user base bigger than 0.1%. That's all I am saying. And I wonder when - if ever - /e/os or Sailfish will reach that level?

@sorenladegaard @jolla probably never, but I'm not sure we really need one
