If you guys recall this was the very first thing I said about Jolla.
I even suggested using the Nexus 5, which by the way, is great hardware and price and availability and distribution support and accessories.

Define support. Have you actually used it, what works & what doesn't compared to the Sailfish port?
And last I heard, the N5 & one other device are now the only devices Canonical's actively porting to.
