O/T: these might help, as the comments have information of the sort you mention:

@Ariadeno: why do you claim so? the keyboard is not sliding. But it's nothing when compared to the lack of arrows! How will you access the terminal here?

Actually, the whole keyboard is an entire trackpad. Flicking towards a direction could emulate an arrow key-press. I agree that it wouldn't be as convenient as hardware arrow keys but still.

I can think of other tricks for the symbols/characters as well.

The BlackBerry OS version is already on the market for a while now, but this isn't yet released, not even officially announced.

Running Linux on this device will undoubtedly resemble the N900 experience.
Are you telling us that this BlackBerry can run Linux? Doesn't sound "true" to me, or have I not been following BlackBerry enough? Or you're talking about chroot for example? The OP has real need to have access to X11. Will that work with this? I know BB OS is unixy, but ...

I haven't been following it properly, but I remember talk for several years now that the Android kernel would be mainlining. I assume that would mean that the drivers would work for mainline kernel and that should mean both x11 and surfaceflinger(or whatever android uses for video) would both be options from that point on.
I believe that is what Ubuntu is banking on to get a more ubuntu experience onto their phone OS. I gave ubuntu a try, but the big sticky points were the weak compatible software ecosystem while x11 apps are unavailable as well as the creep factor of needing a launchpad login to access the repos.
I am sticking with my N900 and BT tethering a WiFI Nexus-7(flo), in a microUSB keyboard folding case, with Cyanogen(block APK install permissions!) and F-droid repos(no Google and GooglePlay snoops) until I can get a real Linux replacement phone and tethered tablet. Maybe that will be a de-creepified fork of future Ubuntu touch.

Grab this: http://wiki.maemo.org/Potential_Android_successor

I know, very Spartan very draft-quality.
It's just a template, even the information for the Xperia isn't complete.

Folks, add any devices you know. Maybe there'll be something found for someone to port onto.

endsormeans, can you please moderate it? I doubt I'll have time for it.

Please read the first sentence of the post you quoted.

There is a thread on XDA about porting Sailfish OS to Xperia 2011 devices (f.e. Xperia Pro):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/joll...-2011-t2171283

I have tried to run Sailfish on Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray but couldn't make the touchscreen work.
Despite it, I am going to experiment with it again in future.
