I really like the Sailfish OS and would not like to go back to Android or OSX, but I'm unhappy with the hardware of my Jolla phone. Is there some alternative out there, which is just working completely with Sailfish OS? I found some wiki with in-progress adaptations, but none seems to work with all features. Is there any alternative device available at all?

the fairphone work with all features (but with some bug). I use it in main phone evryday.

https://wiki.merproject.org/wiki/Adaptations/libhybris/Install_SailfishOS_for_fp2

the main lack is the absence of proprietary functions (alien dalvik, word prediction...). And we don't no if jolla will sell it one day for comunity port (or if freealterntives will be proposed)

You should definitely check out the Oneplus X port of Sailfish OS. Currently it's in an alpha state but it works like it's Release Candidate. I use it almost 2 months and it works smoother, faster, ... then the Jolla 1. The one thing that's missing is Exchange support and Android support (no Jolla store, but Warehouse has everything you need).

The camera, the screen, the quad CPU and 3GB RAM are a huge difference :)

For some time, I hesitate for this phone with Sailfish OS on it. Side autonomy / battery it gives what? What phone do you have? Onyx or Ceramic

@Dylan Van Assche what about battery life?
