Poll: How much cash are you willing to splash?
To find out what people would pay for a new ShinyShiny handset from Jolla, please register your vote here regarding the upper limit you would be willing to pay, or for example if you would only consider the Jolla handset if it were available through an operator in your country of residence, select the last option.
I know it’s difficult when we still haven’t seen a solid product yet, but assume for arguments sake that the handset is all that you hope it to be and of course be realistic (you don’t want to go bankrupt!). 
I’ll sell you a lovely corporate HQ building in Espoo for it…
I hope you mean ‘swap’!

Wait, your not THE ‘Mr Trololol’ are you?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1PBptSDIh8
I think it’s been two or three months that Mr. Trololol died. He found it quite amusing that the Internet folks liked the song and it also led him to sort of a comeback. R.I.P. Mr. Trololol!
If it is my absolute dreamphone (Linux, HW-Keyboard, available in N9 Cyan Blue color, enough storage space, CPU power and all), I’d say up to CHF 1000.– (about 1200 Euros).
Givan a modular version including detachable keyboard, gamepad, extra battery and speakers (each part dualing as reserve battery), Id be willing to splash out about 1000 € or so.
I support the ~200-300 EUR range, since I want Jolla to provide for the lower end market as well; Android cellphones for the lower end aren’t working as well as I had hoped (battery problems, space problems…android doesn’t really scale down well) and feature phones aren’t providing the feature set I require (S40/Bada isn’t cutting it)
I really hope Jolla has a plan for cellphones that target the lower range too; or else Firefox OS might undercut them!
u said a lot of options that a smartphone in 2012 must have!!!
UMTS, good CPU, 8Mpx, GPRS and HSPA, audio and video decoder, wifi, usb
all this options is needed in a smartphone
say something of new improvement
If it reach all of my expectations, I might go up to 600€ (top price if “required” and “expected” are all checked).
Required :
- At most 65x120mm (I want the phone to actually be IN my hand.)
- At least 540×960 (qHD ~250dpi) real (no pentile!)
- Thinner than my Nokia 5800 XpressMusic (no real difficulty here, it’s 15.5mm thick!)
- µSDHC card reader
- GSM/GPRS/EDGE 900 & 1800 (= France and generally everywhere but US)
- UMTS/HSPA+ 900(B8) & 2100(B1) (= pretty much the same)
- Wi-fi 802.11b/g/n
- Touchscreen
- µ-USB 2.0
- Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR + A2DP
- Solid scratch resistant multi-touch screen (Corning ?)
- Quality 8Mpx (minimum) camera with flash LED(s)
- At least 1.3Mpx front-camera
- GPS (A-GPS, geotagging)
- 3.5mm stereo jack
- More than 1 week in simple 3G usage (when not using wi-fi, GPS, Bluetooth, etc, less than 1 hour of conversation, …), more than 24h with a more intensive usage (wi-fi & bt activated full-time, 1 or 2 hours of conversation, surf, …)
- No locked boot-loader
- At least 1 Gio RAM
- At least 8 Gio ROM (got the card reader, remember?)
- Competiting (not necessarily better) processing power (both CPU & GPU) face-to-face with flagships
- Vibrating and polyphonic alert (normal audio file)
- Nice audio processor
- MP3, WAV
Expected
+ GSM 850 & 1900 (= everywhere, the 5800 does it!)
+ Dual-carrier HSDPA+ (42 Mb/s)
+ LTE 800(B20), 2600(B7) & 1800(B3) (the last one depends on frequency recycling)
+ WiFi 802.11a
+ Removable battery
+ USB 3.0
+ Bluetooth 4.0
+ Usable with gloves or stylus (normal gloves and “stylus” could be a pencil on the non-writing end)
+ Ogg-Vorbis up to maximum bitrate (then MP3 isn’t required anymore), FLAC
+ IP67 protection
+ Compass
+ Accelerometer
Nice to have :
+ µSDXC (it’s really just SDHC hardware + exFAT)
+ ext2/3/4/brtfs/whateverlinuxfs possible (screw exFAT & Microsoft, I just want the full memory card!)
+ USB host
+ Opus codec
+ NFC
+ Barometer
+ Physical keyboard
Gadgets, just for fun and probably useless :
+ 802.16e-2005 WiMax 3.5GHz
+ UMTS 1900(B33) TDD
Some of it might be obvious but since I want it so I say it.
PDADB is the right place to find http://pdadb.net/?m=pdamaster … nothing (yet?)
i spent 800 euro for my N9 64Gb
150 of surplus only why i am in italy form expansys
and only why i want N9 really
so i will spend also 800 euro if the new meego phone deserves
but i want only few things to spend so much money
unless 3,9” inches; physical keyboard; big storage like 64Gb; good battery range 2000mAh;
whit these things, jolla can be rich by people like me
+1
for N9-01 CONCEPT with 64Gb and Developer Mode
i will spend 600euro with any problems
+1
I would be willing to send $800 USD if it comes to the US!
me gustaría que para Sudamérica, vuelvan a lanzar lo que fué el Nokia N950. pero con cuerpo de policarbonato, aún habemos consumidores que nos sentimos mas cómodos con teclados físicos que con los touch.
