In my opinion: No

I bought one because of the keyboard and announced Sailfish port. But the experience is bad (I still carry it with me because Android is often needed today, but also have a N9, N900 and N808)

Pros:
- is rootable
- has 1GB of RAM
- has hardware keyboard
- supports multiboot
- is small
- has Sailfish port
- may get working Leste port

Cons:
- Sailfish port is not in usable state. Charge is only readable in one of 10 boots. Can only be charged if Charge is readable. GPS does not work, Bluetooth does not work, Android support trick stops working, keyboard leds do not work...
- Battery life is bad if not in Sailfish port. Its somewhat ok under Android 4.4 Images, but most apps do not support it anymore. Android 7.1 eats the battery in two hours of use or 20 of standby.
- Keyboard has no control key, also keymaps have errors in multiple system images.
- For Android it is too slow for today's expectations of app developers.
- General phone specs do not excel in any way.

I imported two from US to have spare one, the spare works and only has a slightly broken USB port. Cables do not stay put but work as long as they are in the correct position. After my experiences I am sure I will not need it, so I will gladly send it to any active member here and only request shipping costs. (I live in Munich)
