The difference in spec/quality is day and night!

Just want to know if there will in fact be SFOS pre-loads available for sale, or, whether it's simply a case of buy a stock Xperia X and have a (relatively) easy time loading on the officially supported image....?

There's a German version priced at £282.67 from a seller there ( https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-li...&condition=new )

But I'd wait before there's something concrete (eg. look at the FP2 thread), there's no indication how they'll roll out the AD component - will we finally be able to buy it in the Jolla store, or will it only be available to people who buy a device through the Jolla shop.

Well, I'd take 6 over 5 any time. I have 4.5", 5" and 5.5" and have to say that 4.5" on Jolla is the worst experience outside of some basic functions.
But 5.5" would do. And even 5" is better than 4.5"

Finally. My J1 is starting to show its age (screen cracked, battery goes easily flat in cold, etc) and I have been waiting proper official replacement to come up (AD & MfE are must for me).

Hmm, Engadget has following about schedule: "Jolla says it won't be out until late spring/early summer."

Excellent news. Looks like Xperia will replace my Jolla 1.

Even though they don't say it, I'd be very surprised if Jolla's engineers wouldn't soon be using Xperias themselves. Professional dogfooding combined with cooperation from a quality hardware manufacturer should give us a good result. Whether Xperias will be sold with SFOS or I need to install it myself doesn't really matter if the adaptation is good. The community ports are impressive, but for daily use I really want a phone with zero issues.

Great news! Finally the only OS capable of being alternative to mainstream iOS and Android will be available to much wider audience! Sony is almost as brave as sir Robin :D
