Same here, getting mighty tempting, I was already at 400EUD IIRC...

win-win?
o, no, sorry, forgot... meritocracy
only an elite shall have it
And, how do you propose that this should be done?
For starters, the Cordia which you're constantly referring to has been dead for ages now.
Out of all the MeR derivatives, Nemo & Plasma have been far more active...
Also Sailfish code isn't available yet, & it's still not even clear how open it will be -if at all.
If they're still working closely with Myriad for the Android layer, & if it's not based largely on libhybris as some have claimed.*
Then it's probable that some/all of it will be a closed portion of Sailfish...
For Android hw compatibility libhybris is open, but who's to say it can't be leveraged at some future point for Freemantle.
(although I believe binary blobs/fw etc. goes against the whole ideology of this project)
<end off-topic>

*which makes little sense to many
