Hi guys,
As I can see on reddit forums, it seems like people has paid and orders been shipped for Batch 3 around june/july this year. This must mean the first couple of batches already has been shipped, or am I wrong?
I am still excited and curious to hear from people, what their experience are with the phone, since I am thinking about placing an pre-order for the next batch shipping at the end of september.
Do people in here know what is going on?

Many thanks.

First batch will be shipped in July and first ones will receive their devices in live meeting at Helsinki in 8.7. If I remember the date correctly. So nobody yet has the actual device ti make review.

I highly recommend to check forum.sailfishos.org. Jolla posts most updates there first!

I think quite a few people are using forwarding services to get these phones outside Europe. Maybe could be option for you too?

the issue for me is network coverage using a prepaid account.

phone carriers in the united states have opted to implement whitelists based on a phone's imea number(s) to help mitigate political fallout from the american gov't banning phones like they did w huawei, so the only way i can make this work is if i lock myself into a contract with a carrier for X years which requires providing my government issued identification/information along with it; giving them a means to track my whereabouts for as long as i use either the account or the phone forever.

i'm aware that they can do this w a prepaid account already, but it's the most room-for-doubt option that's available to me as an american who uses a smartphone.
