But looks better than any premium phone out there.
Available for £189 from OnePlus in the UK direct. https://oneplus.net/uk/x

Nicer design than the newer models as it doesn't have a home button.

In any case I wasn't really expecting much, just the thought of a device with a perfect form factor and the superior mobile OS gets me excited.

Edit: I was going to ask if the Weather widget works, but of course if the Jolla account doesn't work yet, that won't work either. Maybe the MeeCast widget?
I will try to flash SailfishOS and make some additional screenshots tomorrow (as I currently use Mini Pro with CM11 as my daily driver).
What screenshots are you interested in?
I can also try some Terminal magic if there will be any question about it.

MeeCast (and its widget) do work well.
There are only some slight scalling issues in the application.

The basic Jolla applications, the application launcher, the event screen (with the pulldown with the quick switches) and the lock screen would be great, but feel free to post screenshots of anything you want. Also, is the hardware keyboard properly detected, does it hide the software keyboard when opened?

Few observations:
* 2G/3G (signal), Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, brightness and orientation sensors work well (as I have tested)
* events view works fine. It shows SMS-es, e-mails, Twitter, calendar events (I've tested with birthdays before), etc.
* look out the WareHouse app - it is lagging during installing anything. To avoid it after enabling repository and clicking on the install key you should go to any page where you cannot see the progress bar.
* the home key does not work at all. You have to wake up the phone using power key (Is there any way to assigne keycode to only wake the device up?).
* on-screen keyboard hides when slided out but some apps do not support landscape orientation and the don't rotate (luckily Terminal supports rotation)
* keyboard layout doesn't work fully: A-Z, Dot, Apostrophe, Enter, Shift, Backspace, Space keys work, rest (including symbols combo Sym+...) doesn't
* the proximity sensor does not work
I will add some more soon.

Patches which seem to work well:
* Hide Tutorial Icon

Came across a bug: Warehouse shows error "Status: no-distro-upgrade-data":
Fix (source https://tradiz.org/sfos-armani):
Code:
devel-su
[password set in Settings->Developer mode]
mv /var/cache/pk-zypp-cache /var/cache/.pk-zypp-cache
ln -sf /var/cache/zypp /var/cache/pk-zypp-cache
Screenshots are available here:http://web.archive.org/web/201704101...7i_SailfishOS/
Unfortuantely, forum had some troubles with the size of them.

Thank you very much! Scaling issues aside which I understand will be fixed in the next release, that looks really, really good. The Warehouse lag you mentioned also occurs on the Jolla phone (and I guess all other devices).

I added also the screenshots of menu and some folder in menu which I've forgot to include earlier.

Regarding the accounts.
I cannot log into an existing Jolla Account but can register the new one. The Jolla Store will still not work. I haven't tested the Jolla's Weather widget. Also don't try to remove your account and reregister with the same login or e-mail. It won't work and you'll lost your Jolla account and previously used username (as I did ).
I've successfully added Facebook Messenger (link), Google, Twitter account, XMPP (Jabber) and Nasza-Klasa (through XMPP nktalk.pl).
Facebook Messenger and Nasza-Klasa accounts have imported contacts into the People app (with thumbnails - form both and birthday dates - from the latter).

I've also noticed that default governor is "performance" which is battery consuming and changed it to "conservative". I'll take a look if it would help with battery time. It was the main reason (beside lack of OSMand) why I've retuned to CM11 trying out the Sailfish OS.

Thanks again! I'll await your battery testing results. I noticed it has a fairly small battery, so curious to find out how long it lasts with Sailfish on it.

On another note, I prefer Maps.me to OSMand, it's lightweight and easy to use (but doesn't have the large amount of functionality of OSMand), and it's free software.

I'm using OnePlus X' port on a daily basis and almost everything works. Bluetooth gets disabled on boot, but manual enable and restart of Rockpool's service are not too much hustle. 4K video and screen gestures support done by kimmoli are a very nice touch, especially the torch and camera ones I'm on 2.0.3.14 btw.

The adaptation page is here:

Ask me, if you want to know something in particular.

1.) Does AGPS work for you?
On my Hammerhead port it doesn't, which means that GPS takes minutes to lock to satellites. After that it is very accurate though.

2.) Does Call Recorder work for you?
On my device there is something hazy in pulseaudio; when I try to route the call to voicecall-record profile and dump the data to file it does not work but pulseaudio goes to some kind of loop consuming around 10% CPU.
