Despite a successful Indiegogo campaign, the YotaPhone 2 will not be released in North America, which was due to be shipped out starting August.

The Indiegogo campaign raised almost $300,000 from backers that were interested in the phone and put down a minimum of $500 to receive one.

If you backed the YotaPhone 2, you should have an email describing all of this. Yota Devices is giving backers two options as to how to move forward: either take an worldwide YotaPhone 2 (in the color black, only) that will only work on GSM carriers (so, AT&T and T-Mobile) and only on 3G/HSPA+ bands, or take a full refund that will be sent directly from the company. Unfortunately that won’t include the YotaPhone 2, but a few unknown handset(s) at a few later date.

It is now unknown if these manufacturing issues will effect the YotaPhone 3, which was teased back in May. The reasons, say the company, are “unforeseen delays”. The email says, in part, that “the logistics were insurmountable and the device would simply arrive too late”. In turn, we believe that the likelihood of a severe delay in these shipments would have created a conflict with our global road map for 2016, leaving Indiegogo supporters behind when customers in other regions will be offered a newer, cheaper and better YotaPhone. “This has been a hard decision for us as a company, and we’d like to offer our sincerest apologies to the many people who have supported us”. If the new partner has no problem managing scalability demands and everything else goes as said by plan, consumers might be able to get a new-generation Yota Phone in the U.S. next year. If you’re not in the US, that’s what you would have gotten anyway.

Backers can also opt to get a refund, though Yota Devices isn’t yet sure how that money will be refunded.

It’s not all bad news, though, as the North American team remains committed to bringing the next iteration of the YotaPhone to North America in 2016.
