Yeah I think I had to pay on mine IIRC, still seems odd considering they were notified of the value before hand.
And oh yeah the Handling Fee! The final kick in the balls

Sorry for the offtopic - I always loved the “handling fee” as if the entire task of processing/handling an item falls out of the day-to-day job responsibilities of the department and therefore we need to charge extra..

Yes and reading that is helping me how?
I was supposed to be in Batch #1 (with order number #17xxx); I paid for everything on March 27, but as of today, I haven’t received either a shipping confirmation or a package.
History repeats itself: It was the same back then with the Jolla Tablet—I read about a few people who received their tablets (according to the forum). But I ordered and paid for three tablets back then—and never received a single one.
Still, I made the same mistake again: believing in Jolla…

Many people have reported that their phones were shipped on July 31. What makes you think you won’t receive yours? No need to fall in agony here.

FYI, that order number when you paid the phone doesn’t mean the spot you have in shipping queue. It is the preorder number for the voucher that determines your spot. Currently people around #49xx have some received their shipping notice last week.

But actually they promised to send Batch 1 in July and Batch 2 in July-August but… Batch 1 is still pending.
I hope that at least it includes I3C-capable sub-board since it’s August now…

Fair. Personally I always tough it to be so super optimistic timeline that wouldn’t have room for problems. I think they are currently trying to research their options with the dust problem and might be waiting a little those I3C boards. But your guess is as good as mine here

You’re right to be worried. Some things that happened in the past naturally make people anxious now as well, but rest assured—they currently aren’t causing any problems with refunds or deliveries, and they’re fulfilling their responsibilities properly. Don’t worry, your new phone will reach you =) No company wants to lose a loyal customer.

In the current pace there is a month left for the first batch to ship. Too slow 
There’s still a bunch of staff on vacation, shipments could increase in the coming weeks.

I thought Batch 1 was July-August
That was the plan as I see it. And things can change especially when there are many unknown unknows.
I always add 3 to 6 month to those plans, which makes me stay relaxed.

Yep, They’re working “their asses off” to get phones delivered. Seeing that some things came up such the dust and TOH connection surely will cause delays, and that does not mean just 1-2 extra days.

From 23rd (maybe 22nd) to 28th July inclusive, it seems Jolla hardly shipped any phones, and then suddenly resumed on the 29th, at least going by the Community Shipping Tracker.
I guess this was due to them investigating & dealing with the dust issue?
