Validated accessories donāt really make sense if theyāre implementing a USB standard, those are by design guaranteed to work with everything that also follows that or one of the compatible USB standards. Hopefully they do implement a modern one, the ācompatibleā (i.e. not USB standard but USB compatible) devices are the worst and thatās where you can run into issues of things not working with each other.
I have as @junebob ordered a phone in march, and likewise mailed Jolla about get to upgrade it to 12 Mb but no answer, so, well i followed the link you provided and have ordereded the ā¬50 upgrade for like an hour ago so maybe it works. Time will tell.
On the website it clearly still says upgrade still available. What is there to guess or ask?
Half of the forum ordered accessories after completing the order so they have to check each order and refund double shipping anyway, so I doubt they will forget the upgrade options.
Same thing, I just add memory addition on the order for mine in the September batch. I could imagine that this increase in memory would have been prevented if it were no longer possible
I have a JBL-headset with a microphone and it works with listening music, but not with phonecalls. Something to consider and checking out the functionality before buying. I have no idea what causes this, though.
My personal advice is to lower your expectations and just make your plans now without delaying any further to show up. Donāt expect to have your questions answered therefore if any do happen to get answered, it will be a success. If anything, at least you will have your Jolla handed out to you. Maybe do a tour of the city with the historian @rhampf on here offering the tour and network with any SFOS users during the tour.
A Jolla employee said on this forum theyāll continue supporting the community with pre-orders in small Batches (this way they can adapt to rapidly changing prices of the RAM and other components).
When the October batch is sold out, the total number of devices sold will be at 15500. I remember reading an article in a Finnish newspaper about the business life in Salo, which also mentioned Jolla and said, that they were ready to assemble up to 20000 devices this year.
