I ain’t no fortune-teller, but I can say with almost absolute certainty that their answer will be that it is a work in progress, and that we will be updated about the subject within the next weeks. Nothing specific (although they probably know).

I’m not expecting more than you wrote 
“We ware working on the port, Sony should deliver the best blobs ever”
but we can still wait for the answer for the question from koza. When it will be so than we think I will start sell early than planned. Why shoul I wait the next month after a lot of months of promises?
Would you recommend Jolla C2 Community Phone for newbie. Given it was marked for developers. I’m not that technology illiterate as an old grandmother but. I can’t do advice ting like open up bootloader or install custom rome. I have already check if Sailfish OS works with my bank. I’m not worry about that. But can i watch youtube video(720p-1080p), MP3(720p-1080p), MP4(720p-1080p) cbr.fils, pdf. fils comic. Is it possible watch TV series from any website ?
Sounds like it’ll work fine for you. For YouTube, if you don’t really need to log in to a YouTube account, there’s now two Sailfish applications, Microtube and SailPipe, as well as whichever Android applications you use on your current phone. I don’t think there’s a native application for comic books (other than ‘Daily Comics’ which allows you to follow a number of webcomics) but the Android applications you’re currently using will work fine. Most media files play back in Jolla’s media player or in one of many third-party Sailfish applications, and again the thousands of Android media players also work just fine.
Watching series on websites: with an Android browser. Maybe they’ll work in the Sailfish browser, but it’s quite outdated so is a lot more likely to crash or just not work with ‘newer’ websites. But Android browsers like Firefox work just fine.
Basically, the answer is, if you can’t do what you want in a native Sailfish application, you can just use an Android application and it’ll work. One caveat: Bluetooth services that are tied to Android applications won’t work (although there is a workaround, technically), neither does NFC, and, in case you use a VPN, Android applications that run a VPN service won’t work because they’re in a sandbox. But you can use most VPN methods in Sailfish itself, and the VPN will then also work in Android applications. Also for Bluetooth, if you have e.g. Bluetooth headphones, you can connect them in Sailfish, and they’ll also work in Android applications, Android applications just don’t ‘see’ them as Bluetooth devices.
If you just want to use the phone as-is, it doesn’t require tinkering with terminals, it really just works. I strongly suggest installing the third-party ‘app stores’ Storeman and Chum GUI, which contain many more high-quality applications than the ‘Jolla Store’, as well as installing ‘Patchmanager’, a tool that lets you tinker without having to touch a terminal - in particular, the patch ‘Animation Settings’ is a must to speed up lots of UI animations that make Sailfish feel much slower than it is. But those are things to keep yourself busy in the first couple of days once you have the phone in your hands.
