Jolla Tablet VAT reverse charge

I understand that, unlike the tablets ordered during crowdfunding, the preordered units are shipping from Finland. In this case, VAT for orders to VAT registered purchasers in EU must be reverse charged, that is, not included in the invoice. I seem to understand that this cannot be done. Is this the case? If it is, why does not the Jolla Shop comply to EU regulations, and is it planned to fix this non-compliance as soon as possible? Please note that this is a showstopper for corporate purchases, since it requires to pay an undue tax to purchase the tablet (or the Jolla phone for that matter, but at least that one can be purchased through Amazon that correctly applies reverse charge or issues invoices in the destination country for subsequent VAT deduction).
