Finally, I got my almost perfect Jolla phone with a Nexus 5 which runs SailfishOS. It's really great even if performances are far from stellar. But once you put your eyes on that screen, it's nearly impossible to look at the Jolla screen anymore :-D

Excuse me, we won't see the second phone from Jolla after Jolla tablet, am I right?

Remains to be seen if they can make it materialise, I imagine they're getting very tight for $ on the hw side of the business.
It may be a lower priced product, not the higher end device many of us desire, possibly Intel based & partly subsidised.

If Jolla is successful in its main business (licensing Sailfish to many hardware providers), we'll see far more varieties of devices running Sailfish (the upcoming Intex phone or phones being the first example here). With luck, someday every manufacturer producing an Android-based phone will also put out a Sailfish version.

From aesthetics point of view no edges is better, from usability perspective I would prefer edges as well.
My Jolla has survived hundreds of crashes by now and i bet the reason the glass is still intact is the result of that nice little plastic frame seperating it from the alu frame

I am not a babysitter or museum guardian
My Jolla screen has been saved x times by the flexible bezels and I wonder how much more compression they can take before the front glass snaps.
When I aim along the Jolla's left side I notice it's been bent like an iPhone 6 Plus in a skinny jeans

Drat. Still, Google doesn't seem to have gotten its claws completely into the big phone manufacturers; I see that Samsung and HTC have WP-based phones available...

Has that been confirmed to be the case.
Google is even turning Microsoft into Google these days: free upgrade and now very openly grabbing all your data
