Do we have any idea when to expect jolla phones in the u.s.? Will sailfish work with any android phone?

Probably the next phone will support US frequencies. Until then you can get a nexus 5 and install Sailfish OS on it.

I really think that the Jolla phone support us frequencies. If i look the specs of jolla phone here i can see :
GSM: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz WCDMA: 900/2100 MHz (Bands 1/8) 4G LTE 800/1800/2600 Mhz (Bands 3/7/20)*
According the wikipedia page, the frequencies of our Jolla seems support US frequencies !

This is sometimes annoying but most of the time that's fine.
I think you can install sailfish on nexus 4 also.
