I'm looking at getting a SFOS device but the tablet and phone don't really appeal to me.
I was looking at some community ported SFOS devices and have noted that the Nexus 5 seems to have a lot of love in the community. But i never did like them.
Other than the official devices, what phone & tablet can i buy that can flash SFOS onto, that is that i don't have to port over , it seems that some OnePlus devices have some builds aswell as the some Sony phones.
The only phones that support android apps via AlienDalvik are official Jolla phones (Jolla, Jolla C and Intex). The Nexus 5 works with sfdroid; I cannot speak toward any others.
I really hope some kind of 3,5-4 inch device with Sailfish OS will be released in the (near) future. I'd buy it without even looking at the specs.
I think the closest so far is some of the compact Sony Z series. I've a z1 compact and it's not much bigger than an n9 but has a 4.3" screen. Unfortunately for me there's a lot of red boxes in the adaptation chart. The z3c fares better.
I was looking at that list as well, but unfortunately the red boxes are in all the wrong places, the porter for the Z1 Compact is no longer working on it, the Z3 Compact doesn't seem all that compact anymore at 4,6 inch and is on the expensive side anyway (of course I say this having paid full price for the Jolla phone). Good to hear Sony are releasing sources, though.

+1!
Sailfish would fare marvelously on a small screen. That is where the swipe navigation would really make a difference. Not on big screens where buttons make more sense.
