Jolla Phone update - Pre-orders shipping status and progress

Hello all,

15,000 pre-orders and counting — wow!

Back in December we gave a target to start shipping Jolla Phone by end of June 2026. A target that was very ambitious and we can think many doubted whether we’d make it in time. But we did it - with professional excellence, with utmost stretching by many from the Jolla team and with a trust & support from the Jolla community, we delivered!

On July 8, we started delivering the Jolla Phone at the Day1 celebration event in Helsinki. Since then, over 2,000 phones have shipped to customers across Europe. If you missed the stream, or want to recap it:

Pre-order batches shipping status & progress

We’re shipping every day, and while we had a bit delay in the ramp-up process during July, we start to be on speed and are finalising the Batch #1 shippings in few days. This will naturally be followed by Batches #2 and #3 which will take us to 10,000 units in total - which is a lot to deliver in two months while we’re ramping up our operations. We now estimate to complete Batch #3 during September.

Thus, we are delayed by roughly a month from the initial estimates and it will push the September & October batches forward accordingly.

Final payments for the October batch

There’s been questions in regards the final payments collection for the October batch as the due date lapsed in July 31 for some of the early customers. No worries, this was due to the delays in the process combined with some overlapping holidays in our small team and all the orders remain valid. We’ll adjust the lapsed due dates automatically and send individual email to every affected customer.

Accessories

Meanwhile don’t forget to check the cool Jolla original accessories — soft TPU protective case, Corning Gorilla Glass screen protector or Privacy Glass, or an extra Jolla back cover in The Orange, Snow White or Kaamos Black! You can purchase the accessories anytime and we’ll combine those to your original order (and refund the shipping costs), unless you wish to receive those separately.

Picks from the forums and FAQ

The Jolla community and the Sailfish Forum is almost an indefinite source of information and help for all interested on Sailfish OS, Jolla and anything related. As usual, please consider searching and asking at the forum prior from sending email to us - we still get a lot emails where the answer can be found (or if not directly found, easily asked) at the forum :heart: A good place to start is at The Official Jolla Blog.

While waiting for your Jolla Phone we truly recommend checking out these few end user reviews:

Cancellations, Returns and Refunds

You can also cancel at any time for a full refund. Fully your call. No questions asked, no hard feelings and always welcome back :heart_hands: Please use the Withdrawal Form to submit your cancellation and we will refund your order.

If you have already asked for a refund by email, we have long queue in the emails but rest assured it will be processed. Should you wish to speed up the process we recommend to use the Withdrawal Form to submit your cancellation, this helps us in the process. Apologies for the delays and thanks for understanding.

EU consumer law guarantees you a 14-day return window from the day your phone arrives and the Jolla Refund Policy gives you even more: you have 30-days to conclude whether you want to keep your new Jolla Phone. If it is not what you expected, return it for a full refund. No fine print. Paying now is not a final commitment — it is securing your place in the production queue, with a 30-day trial built in.

Smooth sailing and enjoy the rest of your summer! :sailboat: :heart_hands: :umbrella_on_ground:

How about this:

Hello, thank you for the article. Regarding the batch deliveries, you mentioned that you are approximately one month behind the planned schedule. What I mean is that, if possible, in cases where there are delays with orders, some people may not be able to follow the situation very closely.

Perhaps, for people who are unable to follow the forum, bulk emails could be sent to those whose batch period is approaching. When I checked places like your Google Maps page or Reddit, I noticed that some users are quite disconnected from the forum.

Thank you for the clear statements about the delivery process and for your work. I am looking forward to the JP :slight_smile:

I have actually just received an email from Jolla with the very same information as this blog post, so either they already had that in mind or you made a good point :slight_smile:

They already stated this in the last week’s newsletter:

:red_exclamation_mark:

No news about Merchandise coming to the webshop? :grin:

No more news than it is coming. So you will notice when it arrives.

I am worried about emails reminding me to complete my order

I completed my order 2nd April. The money has got to you. I have your receipt. It says I’m in Batch 1. The confirmation email says “We will notify you when it has been sent”.

So why do I keep - once end April, once again in August - getting emails reminding me about completing the order?

I take the point of an earlier commenter about individual order issues not being of wider interest, but:

  1. I already emailed in April when the email from Jolla said “One step left: complete your Jolla Phone order”. I pointed out I’d been sitting on the receipt for a completed order for four weeks, and asked them to confirm that email was in error. They never replied.
  2. There is a general point to be made here, that if these communications are simply standard (not targeted at those who haven’t completed) then they are both misleading and anxiety-inducing - I am looking forward to receiving the phone, but very nervous it’s not going to happen even though Jolla has had the money for months.

Send a PM to @Jolla with all of the relevant details, they’ll probably quickly figure out what’s holding up your order. (In any case, it’ll be much faster than emailing them.)

Thank you for the reply and suggestion, much appreciated. But…

I can’t for the life of me work out how to send a PM to @jolla, I’ve been digging and experimenting since getting your message, just can’t see where to start. Please help! Thanks!

Could be the PM function isn’t accessible to you yet because your account is brand new, but it should unlock itself if you open (as in click on) a couple of topics, make a few posts or just wait a bit with a forum tab open. If you click on the username, you should then get a blue button “Message”.

Thank you! Can confirm mine doesn’t look like that yet, but makes sense.

Do not worry so much. I am a batch 1, the first 1k and I have just received my phone after a long wait. Please see jolla phone community shipping tracker for additional details about shipping.

Thank you. So were you getting the emails reminding you about completing the order like I am?

The ordering process has included reminder emails which have alarmed some customers – enough to end up having their own section (“reminder emails”) in the forum phone order FAQ.

However, IIRC these reminder emails do say that if you haven’t yet completed your order, it’s now time to do so. So maybe the email(s) you’ve received are different from these.

Yes, most likely you have received an email that was a prompt to buy another accessories. It was a bit misleading. Read it carefully one more time :).

Thank you!

I hadn’t found the forum phone order FAQ, so that was very helpful.

I hadn’t even found how to log in to follow progress at https://commerce.jolla.com so that was helpful too.

Unfortunately I seem to have two totally separate accounts, so am not totally reassured. I will follow up with @Jolla
