My Jolla phone is showing its age these days: the battery is failing, a third party spare (Cameron Sino) that I bought doesn't work brilliantly (possibly it was loose: been better the last few days since I jammed it in with some paper), and generally the phone struggles with modern web sites and apps - although its built-in basic features all still work as well as ever.

What phones are you looking at as replacements for your Jolla? Is there a modern phone which runs Sailfish well? Looking at the Mer compatibility matrix, many of the models listed are a few years old, and compatibility is patchy. Are you looking at the Ubuntu phone? Etc.

I'm quite attracted by the Sony Z series: powerful, waterproof, has an impressive compact model, and Sony seem to have an open source support policy of sorts; one model at least runs Mer. Very interested in dual SIM, but their open source layer, and of course Sailfish, don't support that.
