Hi, I really think you should add 3g/4g connectivity for the tablet. Also make it easy to connect to the jolla phone for internet sharing etc

Ordered the tablet and i hope i'll not regret it :)

Update: If we reach 2.500.000$ there will be an option to upgrade for only 30$

Depending on brand and quantity you can get a UMTS/LTE module for $10-$40* and I'd gladly pay that extra (plus some extra profit for Jolla) to have my Jolla tablet UMTS/LTE enabled.

Let's just push for it and maybe they will add it! :D

Adding mobile connection (3G/4G LTE) would be an advantage over other competitors Nokia N1, Nexus 9 and Ipad Mini 3. Let's hope Jolla will be unlike others :)

For me it is a deal breaker for a tablet. I haven't preordered yet but I'll follow in case this happens :)

Isn't this just a limitation of the used Intel chip? As far as I know, Intel still struggles to integrate good WWAN-functionality into their SOCs.

In this case, jolla should enable bluetooth tethering from jolla phone to jolla tablet

the tablet has wifi. the jolla phone can connect to wifi. the jolla phone can act as a wifi router. the tablet os is based on the phone os. -> i guess the tablet will use the phone as a router just fine ;-]

I don't want to be forced to use both devices. I would prefer a single medium sized device that does everything. As the Jolla phone is not big enough and does not do everything I need I will try to use the tablet.

In next 6-12 months 3g/LTE will be something so obvious, like wi-fi nowadays. Let's make a product which is able to stand the competition, otherwise will be treated as a "vintage" or "hipsterian" from very early beginning ;)
