Let me name a few that is imprtant for me
1. Full proxy support
2. WLAN monitor mode
3. WLAN packet injection
4. USB host mode support (yes, I would like a cabled connection attached also)
5. Updated SDK to match release firmware
6. LOADS of updated binaries. They are most very outdated. Openssl is crippled, and so is OpenSSH.

SMS, Skype, MSN, Exchange, IRQ, Jabber, etc etc similar messaging, I also dont give a rats behind.

and - top of my list - a fully downloadable, restorable, factory image of the firmware. UPDATED ASOONASANYTHINGISRELEASED.

Plenty have bricked their devices, I was close. and worse, after a so-called factory reset, I was left with v. 1.0.0.5 version, which would update anything.
Only thing that saved my ***... was a backup, and my unlocked bootloader!
Funny thing is even on N900 most of the beautiful things on the list were not out of the box, reverse engineering wlan driver to allow injection (and monitor mode?), USB host mode were all done by members of community. Since Jolla uses Android drivers not holding my breath though, injection/monitor mode thread on XDA died long ago

edit: hmm, does anyone know of Android device that is capable of injection? Asking Jolla to put a little bit of effort in porting Sailfish to it wouldn't hurt (they claimed it can be done in 24hrs in many cases)
