@Network Nut: AFAIK you can already by a Jolla from the United States, because
there's a UK based website that allows people from all over the world to do
online shopping with a virtual UK address, that is perflectly valid, than it
ships the delivery to all over the world. I cannot recall the website but with
google you should find it.

I know you have been asked a million times, but when can we, over in the

Feeling Dank,
