Is Nexus 5 almost ready for prime time, I might buy a 2nd-hand one, chuck Sailfish on it, & use it alongside my Note 4.

Yeah, moving sloooooowly, wish they wouldn't prioritise N4 quite so heavily... :-/
Jolla's getting quite cheap now though, if they haven't released a J2 by the end of this year, & if I can get over the frustration of that, I may buy a Jolla instead.

the main reason i want a nexus 5, is for te screen and ram, in sunlight I cant really read the Jolla screen, and I've had enough of the new ram managment system killing the browser or whatever am listening to.

I'm still running Sailfish on my Nexus 5. I haven't had any issue with it as a daily driver (other than the camera).

I had bluetooth issues early on but those issues were resolved with Alpha 4. There is no way I can think of to test GPS as there is no Android compatibility (so I can't install Google Maps or Here Maps).

I don't use navigation on a daily basis and I have another device for a camera so I don't really miss running Android. My installation is also via multirom so if push came to shove and I needed navigation I can always boot over to Android.

If you have any questions feel free to ask me and I can report back here. I am currently running Alpha 6 on my Nexus 5.
