2: Is the moto mod functionality built into android. Just thnking ahead if we ever manage to port another os ie sailfish (never used it but assuming its the closest we get to maemo these days) would it be possible to use easily on another platform....or is it defunct without android
Already looking forward to getting the device...but just thinking out loud.

So happy for this, was close to buying an Xperia X because of SFOS, but as soon as I saw this ordered the scandic version. Sony money has been put away for buying a moto z as soon as keyboard ships. Good luck with production and thanks!

By the way, I am promoting the Keyboard Mod for Moto Z among my friends.
But I don't see any work on Sailfish OS for Moto Z. Hope this changes.

I searched a little after explit mentioned there is no cm13 port available for any moto z / play / force and he is right only Lineage 14 is working nicely on Moto z as i could test last weekend.
Two options that involve much work before starting a port:
- Help bring libhybris support for lineage 14 (Is someone working on it, who to support? stskeeps alone?) .
- Develop cm13 for z series (Not much futureproof, sfos unrelated) and start porting with current libhybris version.
I have already coped with the thought that i will use android for some time on moto z as second phone just for the kbd.
On Sunday i started with moving all android stuff from my main jp1 to newly acquired moto z and deleted alien dalvik for good.
cons,
- carrying two devices, two sims, usecases overlap.
pros,
- 2k screen for browsing, nice camera, pure sailfish = fast jp1, fast android.
Not ideal but i gained some features. Let's see how Jollas sony adventures play into my phone charade

I plan to sell mine OnePlus 2 and try to order Moto Z (Play) somewhere for cheap (maybe 2.taobao.com?), so I can start with SFOS port.

All times are GMT. The time now is 05:07.
They do not ship anywhere but striktly offer pick up in few selected stores.
I reserved one and will try to collect it from Cologne Hansaring store on tuesday.
Edit, wow, price is back to 549€ again 10hours later. (same link)
I hope they do not simply try to lure me to the store.
