The Evaluation Unit of Turing Phone comes with an Alpha Release of Sailfish OS 2.0. The next Over-The-Air (OTA) software update will take place in early August which will enable all the special features of the Turing Phone.
Ehm... Since Turing licenses SailfishOS from Jolla, I would have thought that the licenser has some control over the system shipped to customers. So either Jolla did not think about this when signing the contract, or Turing just didn't care to adhere to it... Either way, I don't think it's good for Jolla's PR to allow an unfinished software to be shipped to someone else's unsuspecting customers.

The Turing adventure is IMHO a risk on its own, but now I can already imagine the first reviews about SailfishOS not being ready for production. They even label it as Alpha for crying out loud!
