cause thats my only option now, i can't afford your mighty sailfish which is unavailable in my region, n9 slowly dying, my n900 is completely broken and it's so hard to find the replacement, neo900 also seems just like another myths, android for now, sorry but i have no choice.

Don't be sorry, get one of the androids mentioned here; https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris

Join the revolution and install SFOS on your device! :D

You don't even need to buy one of those, providing kernel source is available, the bootloader is unlockable and a compatible version of CyanogenMod or AOSP 5 is available, then you can port it yourself.

UPDATE: A popular misconception is that you need to be a developer in order to port. That is NOT the case.

Of course so.

My advice was for general public who like just to download a zipfile and flash it to their device for instant gratification :D

Not everybody wants to set up 35 gigs of disk space for a build machine and follow thru HADK to do it...

Well, I just have to disagree with @nh1402 there...

Or if you really think so please define "developer" for me, please. In my books a developer is someone who creates something new or enhances something existing.

This is perhaps the only place where FairPhone is referenced. Outside of this community, it's pretty much a non-entity.

At this rate, not sure if that means that things will gain momentum or if it'll remain a niche product.

This community, and its own community, which is quite healthy!

I don't know how big they have to be to survive, hopefully they can sustain what they are doing now (if not, it was a bad plan to begin with - their unique selling point is quite niche!).

if the latest information from a 'trusted source' of Android Police proves accurate, with the source claiming that the smaller Pixel handset will start at $649 (around £500/AU$860), with the larger Pixel XL likely to cost even more.
(from http://www.techradar.com/news/phone-...prices-1329022)

You can't afford a sailfish phone but you can afford a pixel phone at these prices...? :confused:
