I guess many already know about Sailfish OS powered Jolla devices. It's also possible to install on certain Android devices.

But what about the product itself? The company was originally formed by ex-Nokia people disappointed in Nokia's exclusive switch to Windows Phone platform, and that definitely shows. A lot has been written from scratch, but many underlying layers are the same as before (although this time without X11). The UI is very smooth.

One big difference is that now the OS has Android compatibility layer, so the phone can run many Android programs (it would be impossible for such small company to get any official support for f.ex. Skype (especially considering it's now owned by Microsoft), should you need it, now you can at least use the Android version).

As for Nokia, they're finally moving on from Windows Phone as it just doesn't sell (of course picking Android instead of "home-built" Meego, that would have been way too much pride to swallow at once), but of course it's way too late for all of this...
