1 - Would it be too much to expect a jolla blog article summarising the events of the day - so i don’t have to wade through pages of speculation in search of ‘the truth’?
2 - Re: the instanta-whining about the Community Phone being from a Turkish company. Can we please see an end to this nascent EUronationalism. It’s stupidity, pure and simple.
3 - I was initially delighted on hearing of a $300 Community Phone. Would have dropped the cash in an instant, simply for the convenience of not having to trouble myself with the responsibility of the OS install.
However, I have no interest in a subscription model. And I certainly will not boost the apparent popularity of a subscription model by ‘buying’ a Community phone instead of paying for a 10v licence.
If Jolla really wanted to guage the acceptability of subscription models, they’d offer the Community Phone in two versions:
a) $300 + $5.99/m
b) $400 + lifetime updates
I [would] buy the latter, precisely to signal boost my preferred payment model to Jolla.
