Wouldn't it be great if we could get a official Jolla Tablet Review? After all the waiting it would be great to see what we get, so why not Jolla?

Haha. I think there is no one at Jolla having the time to do a review. (and maybe it needs a cameraman) Just be patient until the first devices arrive and you will definitely see some reviews around it :)

I'm not sure what you mean by an official review. I think a proper review has to be done by a non-affiliated party. Otherwise it can be considered subjective.

@Okw I think he means a product presentation. "Official Unboxing" or something like that. Just like BlackBerry does it for example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=3&v=7bhP99RMb5k

I've offered to visit Jolla office with a video cam but I heard they had this already covered - So we might have something on this soon I guess. In the meanwhile, the latest official introduction was made by Kauppalehti (Finnish business magazine) at Jolla office in Helsinki. The magazine was very cooperative for foreign viewers too, here's the subtitled video

@Entry3 I don't think that the word "review" is appropriate for what you would like to have. under review we could understand many things, which are far from what you want. i guess

I believe this might be the first one. From Trusted Reviews. 6/10

That was a review of a prototype introduced on MWC15. Already the back cover (first image) is different now, so are the display and USB port. Also the software was a demo version, however, a nice review of that. From the final setup I guess Kauppalehti is still one of the few (if not even only one) having a video too.

Apologies! I hadn't seen it before, and with shipping of the tablets imminent, I did a search for one. Nice review though..

OOOps, actually my mistake... This is one with the new setup. Trusted Review now has reviewed both the prototype and the final setup, and your link is correct (final setup there)

I also found the review to be a bit lacking. He goes on about how "grubby" it gets when he spilled ink on it. He also is comparing the LCD to an AMOLED display and states that the colors are not as good (which is obvious). The review seems a little poor in quality.

The pic gallery (35 photos) seems to mix the prototype to the final setup as well there. Album includes both, having at least the photos 2-12 from the prototype. One interesting note I found: "black levels and contrast make a good impression" - Saying that after comparing with an amoled screen is pretty much said, hope it's true!
