Does the Jolla Phone support the following features?

I currently use Android and seriously think about buying a Jolla Phone. Before I do that, I want to know whether the following features, which I heavily use with CyanogenMod and F-Droid currently are also supported:

  • Offline Vector Maps (like I have with OsmAnd~ on Android). I have a bike mount and put my current phone there. I can drive wherever I want and still have the vector maps of complete countries with me.

  • SSH Server. I want to be able to transfer files from my GNU/Linux machine to the phone via WLAN in the local network without having to plug it into USB.

  • WPA2 Enterprise. My university offers eduroam, which is a WPA2 Enterprise wireless network.

  • US Keyboard layout. Although I usually have the language set to German, I prefer the US keyboard layout. The Google Android version does not support this, but CyanogenMod allows me to switch the keyboard layout independently of the language.

  • Importing contacts from VCard. I do not like to import my contacts via some cloud service, I like to copy a VCard file onto the device and just import the contacts there.

  • CalDAV and CardDAV sync. This does not quite work with my Android devices now, but I'd like to have that in the future.

If this question does not fit the Q&A scheme here, please point me to the right community.
