Let's hope Sailfish become popular [not a question]

I think it depends a lot that some major hardware manufacturer and brand name backs Sailfish to be a hit in the market. In the current scenario Nokia is one of the best choice. Although Nokia is not going to run a manufacturing facility any more but it's fact that they are going into the handset business by licencing the brand name and the technology patents and from that they will expect some profit too. But since their handsets will be powered by Android and that market space is too much crowded with ever diminishing margins due to cut throat competition so Nokia and it's partners must pick something that is different from the madding crowd.So Sailfish OS might be a better bet.Pre Microsoft Nokia was the market leader because they own a mutitasking OS which none other had.But before bringing the handsets they should make sure that the hansets are having the features at par with the current android handsets and the android apps run flawlessly in the handsets. By the time development of native app should be emphasised so as to reduce the memory usage and improve battery life. I think that would be a good plan. Please comment
Idea is good, but if Nokia going todo this? I think not (I hope so). The path Jolla is walking now, is a focus on the Asia (India) and Russian market. The Aquafish is a really good phone (looking at the specs and price), and I hope Intex is going to sell a lot of these phones. If so, then there will be more SailfishOS phones. And if the first phones in Russia with SailfishOS will be a great hit, then maybe Nokia will look at it. But .... you never know, maybe some people at Jolla still have good connections with Nokia ;)
