There was a small update in yesterday's community meeting:
09:32:34 <Jaymzz> #topic General discussion (15 min)

09:32:51 <jenix> Any news about Sailfish and Sonys Open DEvice Program?

09:34:23 <Jaymzz> jenix: We are progressing with the Sony program. It is happening! We will have an announcement for you soon enough.

09:35:09 <M4rtinK_phone_> Jaymzz: cool! :-)
09:35:11 <ApBBB> Jaymzz: tell vesku to get us a compact X in the store :P
09:35:12 <jenix> Jaymzz: Thanks, can oyu give us any estimation on when we will be able to run / test SFOS on sony devices?

<M4rtinK_phone_> also any comments on the X series being discontinued by Sony in the future ?
09:36:07 <Jaymzz> ApBBB: Will do nothing is announced other than Xperia X yet but it isn't impossible to bring other phones in soon after we are done with X. We will see how it goes

09:36:49 <ApBBB> Jaymzz: i can't stand large phones.

09:37:20 <Jaymzz> jenix: At this moment it is still unknown when exactly it will be available for testing. However, I know that it will be within this summer (Not too distance future)
09:37:44 <Jaymzz> ApBBB: X isn't that big really! But I understand the frustration when you're forced to use 2 hands!
09:37:54 <jenix> Jaymzz: So you're currently working on SFOS für the X!? How does the fact that Sony accounced the end for their mid-range devices (including the X) affect your work?

09:38:22 <r0kk3rz> two hands is better tha one anyway :P
09:38:31 <leszek_> jenix: no successor does not mean Xperia X devices will die out today


09:39:08 <jenix> leszek_: thats true, but on the other hand it may mean that it may get harder to be bale to purchase one

09:39:11 <Jaymzz> jenix: Yes the work is currently progressing on the X. It won't affect us yet since there still are a lot of devices out there. Although it may motivate us to move up to higher end devices sooner than expected. It isn't confirmed yet though.
