I stand corrected on lipstick I actually had mean Silica. The misunderstandings come from Sailfish advertising open source but are not fully open source

This also keeps many open source types on Android.
That said it's my favorite. Nicer interface than Android, better multitasking than android. Not giving everything to google like mainstream google android although your carrier knows quite a lot.

Interesting on how copy paste works on Blackberry. Sailfish had it's own copy/paste challenges.

I am amused on Blackberry being more GNU like being microkernel (like GNU HURD microkernel), true in that way but more important to them is openness.

Blackberry has some nice stuff, good luck on the comback and fighting off an android/iOS duopoly.
