I hate to be that guy again, but…
I think most people checking this thread for Xperia-related news check for Xperia-related stuff while folks not interested in Sony but with the desire to converse about all things app ecosystem and GUI would enjoy your posts but might miss them, because they might not even read this thread.
I realize it's a fine line and it might even be a good place to discuss Sonys involvement being a possible incentive for companies developing for SFOS, but it's slowly slipping off topic.
But maybe that's just me being that guy again. Sorry for being a bit cranky today.

It just occured to me that Sony is "treating" Jolla the same way as Jolla does with Turing.
Like, Yeah, we might have a Partner that may become interesting in the future, but better to keep him on maximum distance so the gutts and blood do not hit us if they suddenly explode
Still, Jolla has a real chance here.
If they accomplish to put out a fully working "Jony C" within the given timeframe, it would be prove to other oems they actually can match deadlines and make up for some of the impression they left with intex and the tablet.

Absolutely. I was just explaining to my parents how to work with Sailfish, and everything went well when I showed them they could open up People and call and send messages from there. Then they asked "how can I call a phone number that isn't in my contacts?" and I had to tell them, well, you have to open up the Phone application, then you need to pull down and select the option to show the dialer, then finally you can enter the phone number you want.
Also, good luck explaining you're supposed to pull down or up to answer or ignore a call instead of simply pressing a button, but to end a call you do have to press a button. I don't mind this way of doing things, but it sure isn't something everyone will find logical. Is there a patch to show buttons instead?
@HtheB Well, there's a "patch" for everything that is missing and that is wrong with Jolla. Xperia X with Android is "the patch" for many of those things. But that's not what we want.
There aren't that many sailfish users out there, and if majority of them use the same patches that should tell something. At least tho those who are willing to listen.

The One is a 2 year old device but still very competent. For me it's too big to be conveniently pocketable. SFOS 2.0.5.6 works on both.

yes, because everyone knows how to write a patch.
And then, you have a system with 10-20-30 patches. That breaks on update. Great. Or you unapply them and then they don't work on new version.
I'm not saying that patching is bad but even the stubborn GNOME developers realized some things and now they include some extensions by default.

What strikes me is the way this thread turns into a wailing wall. We should ask the developers of TMO to have a double line for each thread. One with relevant information, and one with a wailing wall.
Cheer up, guys. Everything may be too little, too late. And reducing your hopes may be a way to minimise the disappointment. But to me, this news on Sony is positive, and at least there's some hope of new hardware.
