| VF1J | Hello, what happens if the Jolla Phone CS 2 is used in North America? | 21:42 |
|---|---|---|
| VF1J | Will the Jolla police come get me? | 21:44 |
| VF1J | What are the policy restrictions against North Americans using this phone? | 21:47 |
| Solrac[m] | There's restrictions? | 21:50 |
| makrolon | i think the US department of the Jolla Police(tm) is pretty small in terms of resourcing so i'd not worry too much about it :) | 21:50 |
| VF1J | Well, one cannot buy the Jolla Phone directly if s/he is North American. That is a restriction. Add to that, Jolla users need to be registered, so the company can track location and verify it is being used in Europe. | 21:54 |
| VF1J | A VPN might be needed | 21:55 |
| VF1J | when using | 21:55 |
| Keto | VF1J: unlike some other companies, we do not track our users, and don't care where you use your devices :) | 22:14 |
| VF1J | Good to know. In a coke / pepsi world, some want water. | 22:15 |
| VF1J | Coke / pepsi are not nice, not just for your health, but the world. So some want other options. Places not as blessed with progressive thinking as Europe when it comes to tech. Pine64 killed their phone projects. | 22:17 |
| Keto | we just don't have the resources to deal with sales out side EU, so that's why it's only available here | 22:17 |
| VF1J | But if the buyer takes her own initiative and she offers to pay for the device and shipping, how is this a problem? | 22:18 |
| VF1J | And then her friends also want one... | 22:19 |
| VF1J | A buyer is a buyer, no? | 22:20 |
| Keto | well there are a lot more things involved than just shipping the thing | 22:21 |
| VF1J | Governments do not like you selling? | 22:22 |
| VF1J | (usualy gvernments do not like the idea of choice) | 22:22 |
| Keto | well, yes, there are different regulations and whatnot. I do not know all the details | 22:23 |
| VF1J | Google is restricting sideloading in future updates. Apple, already priced out-of-this-planet, restricts sideloading for a while now. | 22:25 |
| VF1J | This could be good news for Jolla. There are users who are fed up with the tightening stranglehold. | 22:26 |
| VF1J | The other options are untenable, operating systems like Ubuntu Touch have years to go before being usable. | 22:27 |
| VF1J | Apparently, Jolla is the most refined of all the systems. | 22:27 |
| VF1J | alt systems | 22:27 |
| VF1J | Anyway, please consider opening Jolla to North America | 23:06 |
| trigpoint | I had one of the original Jolla phones and later an XA2 with Sailfish which still works | 23:20 |
| trigpoint | Considering the new Jolla phone but the big thing I am missing is contactless payment, is there a workaround? | 23:23 |
| trigpoint | I did avoid Google Play Services on the XA2 | 23:24 |
| trigpoint | Does that overcome the payment and a lot of apps that fail such as rail ticket apps? | 23:26 |
