We were so close to a phone usable by non-enthusiasts with the Nokia N1. The Nokia Linux phones were killed when Nokia hired a former VP at Microsoft to be their CEO. I'm still bitter.

Jolla, ex nokia employees, just sent out their first batch of the Jolla phone. It uses sailfishOS, a Linux based operating system capable of running android apps.

I'm in the wait list for my own.

I'm in Canada. I got myself a Sony Xperia and bought a Sailfish licence for it so I could get the Waydroid integration and predictive text keyboard. Works pretty well. So if you are interested in the OS rather than the hardware, that could be a route to go.

Technically, the licence is not for sale in Canada (or US), but meh, it did work at the time. Probably still does.

Anyway, I quite enjoy Sailfish. Been using it for about 4 years now or thereabouts. There's a fair number of native apps, especially with Chum and Storeman. With Waydroid, many Android apps work too, though definitely not all.

@DosDude @NotEasyBeingGreen The fun thing about this whole saga is that there's linux phone stack stuff that's been completely neglected for the past ~15 years that we're now having to bring back to functionality because of projects taking up pieces of maemo/meego.
