maemo.org - Talk - Sailfish on Turing Phones?

Finnish Broadcasting Company (Yle) had 20min interview with Steve Chao.

Taxfree price of the phone will be ~600$

Google translated article and video

With that price I would certainly go for FP2 or even Intex.

A more than $720 (plus 20% VAT in UK here...) phone without storage expansion and battery replacement, no thanks. I would prefer buying 4 Intex phones with that money. At least I would have 4 batteries to swap with or buying 3 phones + 200 GB SD card.

3GB ram is certainly appealing, but a 3GB to 2GB difference is definitely not as big as 2GB to 1GB difference.

Interesting news :) And the no more pre-orders bit too.

Pricey, but tempting. I actually hope some success for them as it should also help Jolla via Sailfish licensing.

600 sans taxes is roughly 800 incl taxes here in Jolla landia. Perhaps my wallet can accommodate it when it hits the shelves or is otherwise available to everybody. But a bit expensive as a toy, I haven't even given up my N900 yet.

Re: Sailfish on Turing Phones?

According to the reply Turing is giving people on their FaceBook page it sounds like we should be able to order the Turing Phone in June.

Hope so, my J1 isn't as snappy as it used to be, suffering lots of OOM related app kills

That's interesting. For me it's quite the opposite. I had a lot of OOM issues last year but do not remember a single one since the upgrade to Saimaa, to the point that this post has made realize that I had completely stopped being careful (closing applications & browser tabs etc). Admittedly I do not use AD.
