I’ve given this a lot of thought. I would be willing to pay between $3k and $5k USD for a modern phone running a modern Maemo. But there’s no one to give the money to.

The Pro1 says “run the OS you want” but the only fully functional OS is android. The Communicator supposedly runs many distros but they only claim support for android. Other devices/OSes are just developmental.

Hate to be negative but I’m tired of chasing ghosts.
Sailfish OS on Fxtec Pro1 is functional, where phone calls (quiet for me, loud for somebody else? quirky) and SMS and camera and alarm clock and music playing (not perfect GUI, but I am spoiled by Maemo) are concerned. Haven't figured out eMail/Calendar/Telepathy yet, but that's because I haven't got a Jolla account yet - hence no default jolla-apps?

Don't know about Cosmo Communicator. They are seemingly working on Linux-ready firmware?

Thank you. Best wishes.
