When will we know when the 1000 Community phones have been ordered?

When the 1000th phone has been ordered most likely, but in case there are only 999 community members interested in one, possibly never

I believe there is a minimum number of units when ordering the C2 from Reeder.

#36

Does anyone know if these phones come with mainline linux kernel or they just do like in sony xperia, and install the os on top?

What is the kernel being used in jolla products such as these phones?

Thanks!

Here is an answer for the C2:

<jojomen> 2) Does it run a mainline kernel?
<jojomen> 3) Which periferals use mainline drivers?
<Jolla> 2) No, it doesn’t run mainline kernel.
<Jolla> 3) No, it doesn't use mainline drivers.

It is worth noting that right now even phones that has the best mainline support like the original pinephone or sdm845 based devices (e.g oneplus 6) actually runs ‘close to mainline kernel’ that has some downstream patches. They still not deliver all the drivers (missing camera, no suspend, wakeup from modem on calls etc). There is no phone (definately not a current one, sdm845 was released in 2018) that can be used as a daily driver while running mainline kernel.

Thanks for the explanation, so what kernel do the jolla phones (c1 and c2) run?

In what way is that relevant?

It will most likely have AOSP under Sailish, so Android kernel, I guess

Dual SIM (nano) + microSD

Does that mean, this is finally a device with a separate microSC slot, not overlapping with the SIM slots and allo three slots can be used at the same time?

To others it might not be important, but in my case, i would like to buy a product that is completely google free.

It might sound a bit exaggerated, but it’s the way i prefer.

How can one be 100% sure of that?

Is there anyway to find out more about it?

Please define “Google Free” and what the Linux Kernel has to do with it.

You are not going to find a phone that is capable of running Android (like the C2 very likely is) running a kernel without Binder for example. Which is Android-specific and coming from Google.

And that is also in the mainline kernel.

You also will not find a “mainline” kernel without any Google contributions in it.

Dear @rainemak, I saw that you gave a status update regarding Sony Xperia 10 IV and V here: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/xperia-1-iv-5-iv-and-10-iv-support/11394/259 I guess many people appreciate the update.

Would it be possible to also give an update how things are progressing with the C2?
