I hope this will change for the better for the Jolla J2 because you were able to manufacture it in Finland and have more control over it.
Sometimes I dream that I could join forces and help you with my hardware know-how, repairing smartphones since 2001. But then I realize I’m under a heavy workload at the company I’m working for and have nearly no free time besides family life.
At least it’s satisfying for me to follow this forum and all community meetings and try to help where my limited free time allows.
And many here know it: Anticipation (for the Jolla J2) is the greatest joy. That was already the case for me with the Jolla C2, and it’s even more so with the J2.
My gut feeling is telling me that if you consider this a problem (C2s arriving late from manufacturer to Jolla), then having dozens of small parts to arrive so that you can assemble the device might be more problematic in that regard
I interpret the reply from five days ago as meaning that Reeder haven’t sent the devices to Jolla yet. Obviously the level of communication is lacking (that has been a problem for a long time generally) but I don’t think it’s actually Jolla’s fault right now, they can’t ship phones that Reeder haven’t delivered to them.
If Jolla had the phones and weren’t doing anything with them, then that would be a different situation
I am obviously disappointed that there have been logistical issues that have led to delays (I ordered at the start of October 2025) but given the world is on fire, I am not surprised. Saying that, this forum thread seems to receive regular updates which is more than many vendors do. Fingers crossed the issues resolve themselves and I can leave the Android/iOS duolopy soon.
[Jolla has informed us of C2 shipment delays], just asking what is the current situation and if there is approximate timeline available?
Jolla’s response:
We have communicated to our manufacturing partner [Reeder] that our community is eagerly waiting for these [the C2 shipments]. You can be rest assured that we are pushing them. We have not received further updates from our manufacturing partner. What we know is that after production is ready it still takes time to get these babies to Finland due to customs and shipping etc.
In summary, no updates, but Jolla is pressing Reeder about it.
Though, this is indeed an update on the Jolla C2 phone, these are definitely “not good news”…
Reeder is the “goods” supplier and Jolla is the costumer… And “you don’t” leave your costumers unanswered, when the costumer asks a question regarding the goods to be supplied.
Can Jolla “dig deeper” on this matter?
Jolla probably doesn’t want to rock the boat too much publicly. It seems like they are saying, in a very diplomatic fashion, “Reeder haven’t returned our calls and are trying to stall”. Employees at Jolla are probably equally as annoyed as we are since Reeder has taken the money and is sitting on it. I hear they have a poor reputation at home in Turkey and that doesn’t hugely surprise me.
Considering this, I imagine the Jolla crew are already investigating their options to get things moving
That is very much the case and accurate analysis of the situation we have. Thank you for your comment @catonyourcomputer, and for all for the utmost patience in this very matter!
Our manufacturing partner Reeder has completed the Q4/25 production batch and it has departed from their production facility towards Finland. From this onwards we can fairly well estimate that we should have the goods in Tampere in a week so we can continue the shipments
Once we get the goods to our possession we estimate to take two weeks to clear the full backlog of orders - first-come-first-serve basis
This is a great news. Thanks for the photo. It’s hard to tell based on only 2 of them but I tried to guess the number of the C2 in the boxes ! I estimate there are 750 units - including mine.
@iolala and others: Since the name of the phone has already been specified in the thread title, it can be assumed that all readers know which device is being discussed. It can also be assumed that this thread is still being viewed because readers are interested in its content. And, although it may seem hard to imagine for some perpetual naysayers, people are participating in the discussions in this thread in a mostly serious manner.
I therefore cannot even begin to imagine what the purpose of such comments might be. Please enlighten me!
- including mine.
