Thing is- the market is rather crowded nowadays. Producing a device dual booting Android & Meego/Sailfish might not be that stupid after all. Of course this won't happen, but there have been ideas that were a lot more stupid.

That's interesting
"HMD Global was created six months ago explicitly for the purpose of creating Nokia phones. HMD is still a Finnish company, and 16 of the 17 executives on HMD's "Team" page are former Nokia employees".

The fact these new devices will be Android based means it'll be of no use to the majority here.

Folks here were/are up in arms about Sailfish having Android and the rampant "I'll never run it" mantra from key members, albeit somewhat grating, is oft repeated.
I don't think that it's exaggerated at all.

Of course Android has its uses, if it didn't it would not sell so much.
For myself it is just an useful component providing hardware adaptation libraries for devices.
I have to grant it is wonderful that Android is so abundant; Imagine if all devices were WP/iOS, it would be absolutely impossible to port any decent OS to those devices.

Don't get me wrong, I have outright disdain for Android too. Unfortunately it's the only workable OS just now.

*Note: I'm having to use an iPhone and iPad for creative and work purposes now. I know a shitload about "settling"... ugh.

Out of curiosity.
From your all estimate, how likely is it or what would need to happen that HMD offers dualboot option android/sailfish ?
Given they are ex-nokians as i read, maybe they have a sentimental vein Jolla could tap somehow
Like "hey, sent us a prototype and we will adapt SFOS free of charge just for the major exposure, reach and bilateral heartwarming PR story?"

Yep, settling. If we had more decent options then it would be a choice rather than a compromise.
