As I say, I hope so - and presumably Jolla think there is.

At least in one interview they said that next phone is coming sometime in the second half of 2014 but who knows.

Vast majority of people I show my Jolla to have never even heard the name before 
Jolla did not have very high media exposure outside launch day. But those few who have heard all want to see it in action.

That's no way to run a business. You always have to be at least one step ahead of the customers.

This is of course pure speculation (and not a little bit of devil's advocacy) - but Jolla have at least announced their intentions to get Sailfish onto other hardware; they haven't announced a second phone ...

Still can't use my Jolla as my daily phone. Most pressing things missing:
- SIP
- OpenVPN without having to start it up from the command line
- Calendar synchronisation (caldav)
- multi-protocol instant messaging

What makes people think Jolla working on a second phone? 
There are plenty of stuff that need to get fixed in the sailfishos first. I really don't think they work on a second phone atm.
If people want more HW you better hope there is a bigger player who release a sailfish based phone.
Jolla had to focus on SW now not yet another phone.
I am sure the SW would had been alot more stable if they didn't have to change SoC end of 2012.. Debugging HW takes resources...
