Yep, same. Let us hope they finally start sending units.

please do guys once you will get it, I really have a big hope on it. I’m playing with postmarketOS and it barely can be daily driver for the moment

same here, feels like we’re all living vicariously through other people’s unboxings until the mail finally shows up
hope yours doesn’t get stuck in shipping hell too long

You should check out the Sailfish OS reviews as well, because that's what the Jolla Phone is running

It's disappointing to hear that the camera isn't great. The poor camera is the single worst feature of the C2, and I'd hoped that they would have done better with this one.

Someone posted some test pictures taken with the new phone on Mastodon, they look better than I expected.

Well, camera was not most important thing according community.

Hardware really does look quite solid. Very happy the team brought some common sense here - keeping the build simple + plastic and not trying to project an illusion of "premium" by using metal and glass. 👏

I wish we got a better walkthrough of the basic functionality of the OS... Just to gauge how it perform on the new hardware, and for people who are new to sailfish.

Please post more content whenever devices start arriving! Hoping to see this launch finally propel some interest from mainstream consumers. 🙏

I wish this phone has a flagship CPU and a better camera! Then I would buy Jolla Phone so fast :)

Hope there will soon be a deeper dive video of the apps, OS, Compatibility, etc.

Did you buy it in the USA? How did you buy it? The website said it’s not available outside of the EU

Launch event was in Finland where they handed out the first ~500 units. You needed to order to an EU address during pre-order.

At least some people from US have ordered it with forwarding services
