I might be very wrong but I don’t understand it like that. I think it’s best we ask for official answer on that.
Yes, there is room for a different interpretation.
Also, i don’t understand if the 50 euros will be discounted from the total price or it will remain 299€ as here says:
Reserve your Jolla Community Phone today with a €50 voucher:
You can secure the phone from the limited batch.
You get a 12 month Sailfish OS full license subscription valued at €59.88 (€4.99/month).
You can use the voucher to get €50 off from the price (€299).
Also if you read here: Jolla shop
There is a field for the voucher, but from where do you get the code before purchasing anything? If you purchase first, i think you can’t go back to the previous menu to apply the discount code.
If one does not install or uninstall it, will this option still appear on the menu or will it be completely removed and we will need to install the OS again for it to appear:
Thanks!
What “it”? What option? AppSupport?
Why would it be removed? You are not making sense.
Nephros said: “However, if 5.0 on C2 is anything like past SFOS releases, you can of course uninstall or opt to not install the Android App Support Add-On.”
And i just checked this article here:
So my question is if i remove it, the option will still appear in the phone menu like it shows in the video, or it will disappear?
Thanks!
Questions are constructed with “will it”, not “it will”.
If you uninstall AppSupprt, the related setting menu of course goes away - why wouldn’t it?
I’m talking about this option here after data counters.
Will it disappear if you uninstall? If so, you will have to install the os again for it to appear.
Is this correct?
Sorry for the trouble and thanks in advance.
Yes.
Why is this important or unexpected at all?
Of course not. You can just install Android App Support again.

Nothing serious, just that i dislike google to the point of having all logos and names associated with it completely removed from the phone.

You will need it as you mentioned FB messenger, all native fb/whatsapp/discord etc proprietary apps are pretty much nonfunctional, so it’s either googol android app support or bust
What about these?

if you need spyware you have to install spyware, people who wasted time on reverse engineering that shit are long gone, do you expect jolla hiring people to reverse all this proprietary crap?

When will we know when the 1000 Community phones have been ordered?

When the 1000th phone has been ordered most likely, but in case there are only 999 community members interested in one, possibly never

I believe there is a minimum number of units when ordering the C2 from Reeder.
Does anyone know if these phones come with mainline linux kernel or they just do like in sony xperia, and install the os on top?
What is the kernel being used in jolla products such as these phones?
Thanks!
Here is an answer for the C2:
<jojomen> 2) Does it run a mainline kernel?
<jojomen> 3) Which periferals use mainline drivers?
<Jolla> 2) No, it doesn’t run mainline kernel.
<Jolla> 3) No, it doesn't use mainline drivers.

It is worth noting that right now even phones that has the best mainline support like the original pinephone or sdm845 based devices (e.g oneplus 6) actually runs ‘close to mainline kernel’ that has some downstream patches. They still not deliver all the drivers (missing camera, no suspend, wakeup from modem on calls etc). There is no phone (definately not a current one, sdm845 was released in 2018) that can be used as a daily driver while running mainline kernel.
Thanks for the explanation, so what kernel do the jolla phones (c1 and c2) run?
In what way is that relevant?
