The only thing that is leaving me with a litle doubt is the fact of not knowing it FxTec will have Sailfish support and if it will be needed to pay another license to Jolla

Dual boot is technically feasible but not done yet according to one of the porters, said Chenliangchen on Twitter some days ago. If we have an official SFOS version one day, then yes, I guess we will have to pay for a licence to cover the proprietary features and support, unless they consider previous paid licences (like Sailifsh X) are compatible. But the free community port would still be available.

This doesn't change much. I am certain the IMEI wasn't registered when I imported Droid 4s from the USA. I am even more certain the $3 GM Modules I got from Aliexpress have no registered IMEI. So this rule doesn't seem to apply here. And I am happy that the government has to do several more steps to trace my activities by cell towers here. After all I haven't done anything bad.
Also I am quite curious: What happens with tourists who visit?
Do they have to register their phones when entering the country? Do foreign SIMs work regardless of them being in a registered IMEI phone?

Is anyone intending to use this phone on a US CDMA carrier like Verizon or Sprint? I highly doubt I'm the only one in this boat. I'm sure I still have time to cancel my order but I don't want to do that...
Really want to use this phone
I opened a thread on fxtec forums and tweeted them as well. Still no real answer...

EDIT : I have also the card declined problem and have to wait until Tuesday for calling my bank :c

Can you tell me what SIM card I would need to run this phone on Sprint? Want to make sure I'm all ready to go when the phone comes in
The only two carriers in the US that are GSM are AT&T, T-Mobile

All times are GMT. The time now is 02:42.
I'd like Alien Dalvik in principle, but confess I don't have it installed on my X daily driver, so I wouldn't really miss it.
I had community port on my X and on Gemini, and the only downside I really had in both cases was BT would never connect to my car. When the official SFOS for X came along, BT started working straight away. Not sure on the Gemini - I'd already given up on it when the official version came along
In other news - looks like F(x)tec took their money from my account this morning
