Anyway. The fact that in a couple of hours 1k ppl were willing to spend money on a device even though they can neither be certain if it will ever arrive nor if it works if it does shows that there is a market for handheld devices that run Linux.

Donīt get me wrong: I really hope things work out this time.
I am quite sure that device will come and it will work.
This because it seems to be the Intex phone which is already made. And I even think that both Jolla C and Intex phone would be out allready without dual-sim problems and Jolla financing issues.

Market is there. At least 1000 persons in Europe.
But if Jolla would go fully open source to European/US markets it might be even 2000 or couple more.
And leave Russia build their own version on top of sailfish which should help problem solving on open parts...

Well if Jolla can survive long enough it and reach proper stability for key features / some native key apps more (my need is already covered but some people still use watsapp?) it still has a chance.
