I wish the Xperia X (F5122) was supported (Dual Sim).
So close to having this yet so far. EUR49 is another bummer.

This offer hardly makes sense for avg joe like me.

Bluetooth working out of the Box. SailfishOS runs great, Android Support is also working (Android 4.4.4 Alien Dalvik).
Not working atm: Fingerprint scanner, Barometer, Step-Counter

Not really logical move, sailfish OS is very limited comparing to Android, I mean you get stricter OS with not working Bluetooth functionality and other sensors. And you need to pay 50 euro, if it would be free, why not, but 50 euro, I mean who will even consider that to buy? :)

"Keep in mind that the current OS release doesn't offer support for features like Bluetooth, new sensors (e.g. barometer, step counter), fingerprint, and FM-radio.
Carrying a price tag of €49.90,"
These devs have something in their brain? They want 50€ for an experimental product which isn't better then a free stock Android or even the already installed Xperia skin of Android?

So you want from the user to pay 49 for a new OS no body knows about the bags of it then you will tell me after that pay money for the application e.g. Whatsapp, Youtube and etc which are already free......then you want from the user to accept your concept? how? please tell me, the market is full guys

AnonD-17317, 12 Oct 2017It's good to launch a self OS for Sony but:
1- Why is not ... moreandroid is open source based on linux which is free too. sailfish is propriety OS basedon Qt which is paid too.
jolla is small company and based on this past 4 years. they have bad rep and the did promised many time but fail later on.
there's no marketing because they aim for country like india and rusia rather than worldwide

Sony can really make an OS that will dominate the market but due to stupid marketing strategies and sleeping designers at Sony HQ this thing won't happen anytime soon. (just saying that sony has the potential)

50 bucks is cheap price for real privacy against the Android Os spyware.

So, I'm supposed to give up Bluetooth (and other useful hardware) and pay 50 bucks for that. Dang, looks like a goldmine venture to me.
