Hey Sailors!
Sailfish still has many problems and support for XA, XA2, Gemini leaves a lot to desire. But I still want to bring some light to a device that has been talked about previously in TJC: fxtec Pro1. Android phone with unlocked bootloader, physical keyboard, curved screen.
Some alpha adaptation is already done by one of the key developers for Pro1:

They seem to have some talks with Sailfish team, but unsure how much:
https://www.fxtec.com/forums/topic/alternative-os-availability-common-entry/page/2/#post-11194
I posted a brief history of the OS on their forums and asked about the situation. Probably not 100% accurate and there are some major simplifications, but I tried.
https://www.fxtec.com/forums/topic/pro1-and-sailfish-os/
I have also tried to contact one of Sailfish Team members via email, but have not heard back or any comment. Not surprising, but hey I had to try.
But yeah, I think conversation over this would be interesting and any response from the dev team of course appreciated. Official support with Android apps would be awesome for this kind of "high end" phone. Personally, I will probably buy it for the keyboard alone.
