Hey,
i wanted to share the idea of Jolla offering a paid flashing service for Sony and Volla phones with SFOS. In the beginning of the Xperia X program, Jolla offered the possibility to wether install SFOS on a Jolla event, or to send in the device to the Jolla Headquarter to be flashed by a Jolla employee. At the time this was done, by sending in the device with a returnlabel for sending it back later on. It was seen as a free service more then a paid service. I know by offering that kind of service, Jolla could run into problems. Warranty issues, if a device breaks during the flashing, warranty service for the installation of the system. But seen on the many smartphone users being interested in trying out SFOS, but wether not being able, or not being interested in flashing a device. This would be the ultimate way to spread the system to a wider user base. It reminds me of the beginning of Ubuntu, where Canonical would ship hundreds of CDs you would spread under your friends and therefore spread the system in total. Okay, Ubuntu has a manageable size of marketshare, but they came from nothing to the most known and installed Linux distribution. Somebody willing to pay 50 € for SFOS image would also be willing to pay additional 10 € for the flashing service. The 10 € would probably just cover the costs, but nevertheless be a win win situation for Jolla and the SFOS users. What are other users thinking of that idea and possibility!? Greetings
