Interesting... if they already have taken preorders, can they really drop Android completely like that?

Device itself certainly looks different from everything else. If it's as strong as they claim, it surely is interesting choice. If it only was smaller in size....

I was talking about original/official batteries...

Jolla phone has SDcard, removable battery, MicroUSB which this phone does not have, even Microsoft current flagship Lumia 950/XL has all things I mentioned above!

why still that obsession with removable batteries? Powerpacks are dirty cheap. And I actually don't have to switch of the phone. And they are small enough so I can easily charge in a back pack or some bigger pocket. Also, modern batteries last longer then the phone itself. And most of them can be replaced when needed. Not by average Joe but....
And lack of micro USB...... Isn't it mandatory within EU? Or at least they should provide some adapter.

Things of interest for me - the hardware has (proper) NFC and a fingerprint sensor, both of which will need support added in SFOS. And then the magsafe thing which may just be USB in disguise, if not then that will need some adaptation and UI love too. Oh and BT4 BLE mentioned, which will disappoint anyone trying to use it in an android app unless that gets fixed too.

With another battery, swap and reboot with in 1-2 minutes I have 100% juice back and I don't have to prepare a large pocket and tailing some extra power tank and can't move the device freely.

For your statement for battery, I'm afraid it's not true. current Lithium ion battery the charge lifecycle is less than 3000 times, when you get 500 charges you will lose about 30% capacity. With your usage with portable charger, assume you change twice a day, your battery will be 70% after 8 month's use. Unless it uses another kind of metal ion which as far as I can tell, has not been commercialised in any manufacturers.

Sorry for the off topic.

The device looks nice. But if I were a backer, I'd be worried that they're still talking about "dropping Android" while giving "2 month" release estimates. I bet they're going to miss that deadline too.

A bit sceptical commentary on the Turing announcement:

Hopefully Turing will eventually make a great Sailfish phone,
