Who Else Is Waiting For The Pre-Order ? (Group Therapy) - Jolla General Talk Discussions on JollaTides Community Port

Are you also on the edge of your seat with pre-order anticipation ? Well you've come to the right place! :-)

This is an open therapy thread to come and get anxious and excited about your Jolla pre-order or even if you're waiting for the next pre-order wave to be announced or whatever, come and join in.

Questions like, when do you think Jolla will start shipping ? Will Marc Dillon make some kind of announcement at Slush tomorrow ? How many days will the Jolla take to arrive once its shipped ? etc etc

I'd really love to find out who else is also waiting on the 1st or 2nd wave pre-order as it would be quite therapeutic knowing there are others feeling my pain!

I really can't wait and find the best way to deal with it sometimes is to try and forget about it BUT unfortunately that's easier said than done especially when I have to write about Jolla every week!

Anyway, feel free to share the anticipation with the rest of us - it might be a welcome (kind of) distraction and give us all some group therapy! :-)

Hi, I'm waiting (patiently not really) on news when the 1st wave of pre-orders will start shipping. :-)
Hopefully, we'll get some firm info soon (maybe today.)

JollaTides

Hello there Willie - nice to hear I'm not the only one suffering slight preoccupations with this and yes, fingers crossed for an out-and-out win tomorrow with some nice speeches, even nicer (close-up) videos and the all important shipping date!

Fingers and toes, firmly crossed! :-)

andreibechet

Am also in line for the 1st wave :) ... hopefully before the 19th (afterwards I am leaving for holiday till after the new year's eve... :P)

JollaTides

I expect many will be in your shoes Andrei - and after all - most courier/shipping services start slowing down at that time of the year so if they ship it really needs to be the end of November at the latest.... preferably before.

I'm not really very materialistic, but at the same time, I've never wanted something so much!! :P

technicus

I'm also in the line of the first wave :)
and this tweet is giving me hope, that in the next 2-3 weeks the shipping will start https://twitter.com/JollaHQ/statuses/400551583563280384 <3

KnuX

I did the 0€ preorder, and I'm still unsure if I'm gonna jump right away at the first jolla phone.
It's gonna have to go down on extra features: is it nice enough to make me forget about the no-qwerty part? Hmm...

Great :) ... maybe it will reach by the time i leave. I really want to play with it :)

Soo, a response from Jolla:
@JollaHQ Any word on the date for 1st wave preorders?
@goosebumps4 We will start shipping all pre-ordered devices within this year.

So i somehow lost hope i will get my jolla before i leave ... too bad they can't treat the whole Europe like Finland - at least by shipping them then.

WilCo

I have been waiting very impatiently. Willing to travel to Finland to get mine.

JollaTides

@WilCo

Maybe we should all chip in for an airplane ticket for one person here to go and collect all our pre-orders from Finland and ship them to everyone! :-D

richardski

A personal courier service - now that sounds like a neat idea for the impatient, which is probably the majority:)

Richard

KnuX

At the store: "I'd like 100 please"
Everyone behind him in the line: "OH COME ONN"

JollaTides

@KnuX - That might just be enough to cause a riot in Helsinki! :-D

Great, the 27th (27-11) is a few short days away. Am sure will get my very own Jolla soon after.

andreibechet

Hopefully they will start the shipping for the preorders then :) (fingers crossed)

JollaTides · Post edited by JollaTides at 2013-11-17 15:42:35

It sounds like they will definitely start shipping at that time according to their FAQ:

"At the event a total of 450 Jollas will be sold to customers who have pre-ordered their phones in the first pre-booking campaign. At the same time, we will start mail deliveries in the order of pre-bookings."

JollaTides

It also states phones will be deployed in the order that they were prebooked - note you would have to wait longer if you were towards the end of the prebookings list.

andreibechet

Great news then ... I have preordered in the beginning 5-10 min of the peorder :D

JollaTides

Wow - you were super fast Andrei and should be getting your Jolla very quickly! Woohoo! :-D

andreibechet

Hopefully :) I will write my 1st impressions with it, and if you guys want I can even make an unpacking video of it (not the biggest fan of those) and some more displaying stuff which wasn't shown so far.

JollaTides

@andreibechet

That would be great Andrei - we're also planning to do some videos so the more the merrier for sure! :-D

We'll also add some more sub categories later as a place for any video reviews etc to be posted.

technicus

@andreibechet and @JollaTides

I dont know which packages you two have bought but, when you did it like me
and you bought the 100€ package, you still need to pay the other 299€ dont you? :-B

PJW_2273

Correct Technicus.

My 299€ has been sitting in a locked box under my pillow since May ;-). Just hope I can find the key when mail orders open...

blitzschlag

ah well. i'm not one of the first 450 but can't be that far behind :D

No Problem waiting some days more to replace my 8 year old Motorola A780

andreibechet

I went for the 40eur option, but I also have the 400eur set aside since summer :p

WilliePre

Just saw a post on th FB group "Jolla Pioneer Fans" that that this 1st wave Jolla Fan from the Netherlands received his ordering mail. So things are looking up !

JollaTides

@WilliePre

Great news Willie!! :-)

richardski

I too can confirm that things are on the move as this afternoon I have had a nice e-mail from Jolla HQ asking me to lookout for an invitation to visit the shop and complete the order.

So I have my spyglass out and have polished the plastic-fantastic. Hopefully it may even arrive before the winter festivities:)

Richard

andreibechet

I also have just received the mail. Good times :)
Fingers crossed for a delivery before 19th of dec.

JollaTides

Congrats guys - we're all in this together as I just got my email too from Jolla - so excited! :-D

/2013/11/22/update-email-confirmation-received-spoiler-alert/#comment-4034

WilliePre

Yay, I've also received the Update on your Jolla pre-booking!
Now the waiting starts for the invitation to enter the webshop to complete my purchase... <3

JollaTides

Great news Willie! I wonder if we'll get the payment details over the weekend or next week maybe?

technicus

I bet on monday :)

Faz

My beloved 2 year old N9 was in mint condition since I got "involved" with Jolla. It has since been to hospital due to screen flu and today I dropped it, twice! Oh Jolla, where art though!?

The Jolla tide is high but I'm holding on! :P

My name is Faz and I'm an #unlike pre-order customer and I need help. %)

Do we have a 12 step plan?

I think step 1 is to donate generously to cover the cost of this invaluable therapy that we're all receiving.

KnuX

Got the mail too. Still have to decide if i'll jump on the bandwagon early on, or wait for first impressions.
Decisions, decisions... :)

JollaTides

@Faz

Oh no I'm so sorry to hear about your N9 and sincerely hope the Jolla lifeboat can arrive very very soon to help rescue you! ;-)

Of course we don't generally 'expect' donations but hugely appreciate anyone who can spare some small pocket change. We are in fact finding that this is becoming very time consuming working on it sometimes 12hrs or more in a day (+weekends) and without funding it would be quite impossible to continue at those kinds of levels.

Unfortunately, this means you may see a few more ad's pop up here or there and I'm sorry about that in advance, but hopefully they are 'useful' ads and if you see a link that is useful, clicking on it is of course another way to help.

Thanks Faz so much for your vote of support - you are truly an #unlike guy!! :-)

@Knux

Well that's a decision made easy for me of course, but I appreciate your dilemma Knux.

If you're really unsure, maybe best to wait for some 1st impressions but then I guess if you still like what you see, you would have to wait a bit longer. I think I read as long as payments are made before 2nd December, they should be shipped promptly.

Otherwise, your prebooking is I believe, still valid until June 2014. ;-)

technicus

By the way, has any one of you further infos about the maximum capacity of the expandable micro sd? :)

Because as far as I know, the most smartphones with expandable memory just allow 32GB micro sds. It would be a pitty if also jolla would just allow 32GB :/

Faz

Good point, with only 16GB internal this is pretty important!

I think the N900 only supported 16GB cards at launch but now supports 64GB after updates. I would be surprised if Jolla isn't able to at least match this.

technicus

Hopefully :)

BTW I got an Email for the payment instructions :D

CoolHuh

Got the Email too. Paid and now waiting. Does anyone know when the delivery can be expected?

blitzschlag

yeah, just paid 314,xx€ (with shipping) and counting days now :D

i think it has been 3 weeks from the shipping confirmatioon of my pre-order T-Shirt till its delivery at my house.

technicus

so it could happen that the smartphone is under my christmas tree :D

blitzschlag

remember to get the micro-sim in time (if you don't have one already)...

andreibechet

I've got the email as well :) ... cool.

It's a great monday morning !!!!!! It's grey and rainy but it's a lovely day !!
I've received the mail that provides access to the Jolla shop, and... ordered my very own Jolla smartphone.
This means that I can lay my android phone to rest. This will also give my N9 a break because it is on its last legs.

The question is now whather I'll receive it before Sint Nicolaas comes arrond on the 5t of December.

JollaTides

I got my email too earlier this morning! :-D

andreibechet

Did you guys have the option to choose the color? In my case they said that it is white (not that i mind, because it looks very good, but i would have preferred that turquoise)

JollaTides

No option for me andre - I just made a post about it: /2013/11/25/jolla-payment-invitation-received/

blitzschlag

apparently there is only white other halfes except for the 100€ pre-order guys that get white and red one.

in the specs they mention that the shown colors be added later (or something like that)

andreibechet

At least it looks muuuch much better than the nexus 5 white version :p. It actually has style :). Now, when can I have it? :P (rethorical question)

Howdy, Stranger!
