Interesting device at a reasonable price (300€). Specs are not amazing but it has some nice features: dual SIM, micro SD and 3.5mm audio jack.

Having to pay 5€/month for keeping Sailfish OS up to date after the first year is a hard pill to swallow. It's nice to support the developers this way, but it's a hard sell, even for a tech enthusiast.

My first intuition was also for that to be a deal-breaker, but having thought about it more I think it's reasonable. Developing software is work and someone has to be paid for it. If I buy a new phone, it usually doesn't get updates after 2-3 years, but here I have the option to pay and get the latest features. Also, I'd rather pay with my wallet than with my personal data.
