That was my first impression on Nokia N900. I could not read my contacts and SMSes. Luckily there were simple mods to zoom on both. Now I face the same problems with Jolla and - no zoom mods

So to sum it up:

Sure things:
-New phone(s) with Sailfish and with at least decent HW, including a nice camera
-Quite a long list of potential devices in Sony´s program
-Alien dalvik works

Still open:
-Xperia phones will only be "community devices", at first at least. So Jolla does not seem to see see them as a way to get proper revenue or to expand the user base of SFOS that much. Instead, Xperia devices appear to be 1) a showcase for their "real" customers at this point, the licensors 2) a better phone for the developers and 3) a way to "reward" the community. Not a bad situation, I would say, but it does mean that SFOS will not spread as rapidly as one might hope, compared to a situation where everyone could just buy an Xperia devices and download SFOS on it without joining some program.

Questions yet to be answered: Will there be a similar programs as with the Jolla C with a certain amount of devices with a certain timeframe when you can apply? Or are pretty much all Xperia phones "available" as community phones, buyable at will?

If there will be a same kind of program and no knowledge of the future at that point, I will probably dish out for the Xperia X next summer. If at that point it is known that the support/program will cover more devices and there is no deadline in signing up, I will probably wait a bit to make certain I can get the device I like for the next few years.

They've added a 'Text size' feature in the latest release. Go to Settings>Display to choose from Normal, Large and Huge.

Aliendalvik will be in, confirmed by Juhani Lassila in source above.
Are you sure about aliendalvik? Though my Finnish is sufficient for a street cat, it says Android applications will be supported that doesn't mean it comes with aliendalvik itself.

If it uses the word "soon" people may begin to lose hope.
Ohh really?

As a US N9 holder who has missed out on every jolla release to date, i'm so hyped for this.

Bonus that the Xperia actually looks almost as good as the N9 as well.

There has to be another shoe to drop right? Lol
