in the packaging there is a cardboard cover on top of the phone, that talk about privacy and this is your phone.
However, when you first boot, it immediately asks you to create a Jolla account to get access to the Jolla app store, which apparently is required to get Sailfish OS updates.
Why do I need to create an account in order to get OS updates?!
