Hey,

so whats your guess on the pre-order other Half?

i really would appreciate a HWKB (qwertz) but i guess thats a bit too much wishful thinking on my side ;)

i kinda hope its more than "just" a special/unique colour though...

My favourite 1st choice is of course for keyboard other half - that would be amazing! :-D

In the interview with Marc Dillon on the yellow stage at Slush 2013, he mentions the keyboard idea stating that whether Jolla make it or a 3rd party they just don't know yet so I think it's still some time off development...

For the pre-order 'exclusive other half', that is a difficult prediction hmmm.... I don't think it's going to be a keyboard somehow, but they could surprise us with maybe an extra battery oh or maybe a wireless charging activated oh. If not one of those then it may be an extra custom colour oh that we can each choose.

extra Battery wouldn't be too shabby considering the uptime of todays mobile-hardware...

An extra battery would be nice and or a solar charger

Yeah, it's not a keyboard for sure -- why keep it a secret if it is THE item that would make a lot of people buy the phone?

I'm guessing it will be a simpler half, like an exclusive design with some special material instead of plastic.

@Knux

I agree with that although who knows Jolla may have a few tricks up their sleeves yet, I guess we'll soon see. ;-)

well,

white and poppy red. so just a plain "unique" color as pre-order other-half...

i'm a tiny bit disappointed

nonetheless i can't wait for my package (ordered today)...

I'm afraid that the exclusive Other Half doesn't have any functionality, so we who paid 100€ in advance must settle up with a T-shirt and extra color back cover as a thanks from Jolla. Well, It's not nothing, it's something - and can be considered as a thanks - but due to Jolla's advertisement about The Other Half, something really unlike and new, I'm a bit disappointed too if we see another color cover. And don't expect it to be red either (read more)

well, when all is said an done noone paid more than 414,xx€ for the Phone. Pre-Order 0/40/100 does not matter (if you leave possible interest and risk for 100€/40€ out of calculation).
Those that "loaned" Jolla 100€ got a Shirt, a "unique" colored other half and their phone early.
Those that "loaned" Jolla the 40€ get a Shirt and their phone early.
Those who did not loan anything don't get any bonus.

In the end you can't expect a small Start-Up to give away something extra nice when the 400€ are probably a close calculation (for a limited count Mobile Phone order) anyway

Still there is a nagging disappointed feeling :D

Maybe we get surprised tonight and the "poppy red" got a secret surprise for us

blitzschlag

no surprises in Helsinki in the Other Half department :(

Howdy, Stranger!
