As I am to it, would you know by any chance if the alternative Sailfish OS, that is still mentioned in the front FP product page, is still ‘in progress’ or has evolved a bit?
The current version works perfectly fine.
However, yet there has not been any agreement between the Jolla community and Fairphone to officially support it, thus it remains (a fully functioning) community port. Downside of no official support: Commercial parts (like Alien Dalvik to run Android apps) are not running yet.
For more info have a look at this:

So…
Hey, I stumbled over the following conversation on twitter: https://twitter.com/Fairphone/status/719470603779092481 . Here are the most notable tweets:
