"utterly busy with partner negotiations especially in Asia"

I don't know what kind of partnership they are looking into, but I sometimes wonder what it would be like if a successful HW manufacturer would license Sailfish and produce a high-end hardware.

Vote up the answer with the manufacturer you like best and add comments to explain why. This is not meant all too serious. But still, the result of the poll can be an indication of what the community would love to see in the future.

I don't want to be picky, but I guess they are talking Sailfish 2.0 "partner space" partners, here...

@StaticNoiseLog please keep your personal requirements out of the answers - teasing is ok though ;)

@chemist: OK! Let's add reasons why we like those companies in the comments to the "answers".

Maybe one should actually discuss in another thread if it would make sense for Jolla to license Sailfish to other companies. Google and Microsoft do it. Apple does not. Both business models seem to work. I think it might be good if Jolla got some additional manpower to help with Sailfish IF they choose their partner(s) wisely.

Vsenn is off the table. They gave up and licensed their technology to an unnamed company.

Because they should rather invest their money in Sailfish than Tizen.

The venerable folks at Blackberry deserve to be mentioned here.

Quite unrealistic, of course, because Blackberry has a very similiar solution to Sailfish (Unix with Android emulator). A shame that they are not more open.

a bad idea imho. Jolla needs some real partnerships to get new customers because its current niche is to small. Jolla is too geeky for most people but not open enough for real "free software" geeks and it cant go more open until they grow bigger. Until now all Partnerships only resulted in Android apps that cant be the goal any good stuff is provided by the community (exept the phone itself of course)

Great HW. They need an open alternative for their closed system. In the legacy of having once been a geek company.
