Hey, who can give you more than they can promise.

I wonder if the lack of security features and options in Jolla Sailfish OS is the reason why it takes so long for 3rd party phone makers to release a public Sailfish phone.

Whatever happened to Sailfish "secure" that ought to have been Sailfish "standard" by now?

Maybe SSH knows?

No, it was a genuine attempt from both parties as you can read from a ReviewSailfishOS interview with Mika Lauhde, Vice President at SSH.

For some reason, the term ninjas appears in the article. Honestly not sure if author is serious...

In the attributed source article (Android Police) the tone is a bit different, with the story beginning like this:

Security via obscurity perhaps?

As a worthy alternative to security via fading into a gigantic mass of Android users.

Well, don't bother to look for "Made in Finland" and FCC&CE stamps in first evaluation devices:

http://suomimobiili.fi/turing-phonej...inakaan-viela/

* First shipped phones will be manufactured in China.
* Snapdragon 820 version of the phone will get FCC&CE approvals, evaluation version won't.

Edit: And only 128GB version will be available, 16GB and 64GB version have been scrapped according to the article.

At least that makes sense since 128G should nowdays be the absolute minimum allowed in any device be it a featurephone, smartwatch or anything else more sophisticated...

why do you say that, I have a 32GB nexus 5, and the only reason I use half that is because I have 5 ROMS running in multirom for varying reasons, otherwise its just a sliver.
