Xperia X was a pleasant surprise. It is very snappy and all metal build quality seems good. Also camera takes pretty incredible pictures.

Got it with 299€ from verkkokauppa.com .

hi-tech.mail.ru's article In Russia, a smartphone with two operating systems (google translated)

So dualboot is possible, nice!

Also according the article SFOS is not anymore seen as Android competitor but as OS for corporation use.

Today Sailfish is positioned as a "Russian" OS, protected from any foreign influences. As part of corporate use, the manager can fully control the mobile devices of employees, including prohibit the inclusion of cameras, disable geo-location and download certain content.

Bought an Xperia X from ebay (Germany). Arrived swiftly. 240 € + shipping 10 €. Seems they are still not sold out.

Phone feels good and I like the form factor. Similar to my Jolla 1, but thinner, a bit larger display and more rounded corners. Now waiting for the Sailfish release.

Don't trust journalists. I'm pretty sure they misunderstood and talking about alien dalvik on top of sailfish.

BTW, kernel 4.4 is now available. Although I'm sure Jolla won't use it, but maybe custom kernels will be available by community members

Also, damn! Seems like we could get full 20MP camera someday!

Hehe, i think that we can wait a longer period as they paired the release with aliendalvik nonsense which should have a secondary priority.
