That didn't work out that well in the end (and arguably not in the beginning, or in the middel of it either)

Lets hope that Jolla does better.

Yes but not because of the "One Country" bit.

Lets hope that Jolla does better.
Amen!

Do you think this will be a deal with network or a standalone 399 Euro deal¿

- Or is it just quicker to do it in Finland at this stage and that's why they are doing it?
- Why won't they include EU? You can always buy from within the EU, get it shipped [at a higher cost] and be done with it.

mail says:

*The second wave pre-order campaign is currently only available in Finland. Campaign info for other markets will be announced in the future.

I think "mrsellout" explained it very well.
I also think it has to do with Microsoft buys Nokia smartphone division if people remember...

So I think its good strategy. make sure finnish people buys the spread the world

good point, I mean DNA may very well help Jolla get more operators in europe. The more preorders from DNA and they can say too other OP:s in europe: "DNA has preordered xxx devices now you also should consider..."

Yes, it didn't work out well for Communism, but hey these devices aren't being given away, filthy lucre will be exchanged for them, and so maybe once again the capitalist pigs will prevail .

It has certainly to do with the deal which hit every real fin's balls... since the "elop deal" went public in finland, they are all quite mad. Nokia really was a flagship representing finnish economy..
I was on a trip there (in my home country) when the news hit the stage.

"Elop earned 19 Million in three years for selling out nokia..:"

y'should have seen the 16 page special issue in finnish "iltasanomat", which corresponds to the german BILD (or maybe US NY Post / USA today// british SUN) whining bout the sell-out of the leading innovator / saviour of finnish economy / finnish soul and spinning conspiracy theories bout elop/ms having planned this all way long.

just rememeber, Finland has the highest number of cell phones per capita, so I could bet we'll meet the "other half" in user numbers (jolla vs appledroidwindows)..

I'm shure this is an excellent strategy stepstone, just you non-fins be cool and wait a little more, when this awesome idea succeeds in finland, it will do so in the world (just as nokia did in the past).
