I loved my N9. But i'm somewhat hesitant on preordering that one. I need wireless charging.. And i still dont really get if Android-apps actually work or not, i.e. swedish Bank-Id/Swish etc.

I'd actually prefer one running a normal Linux. It's a travesty that certain things in daily life require Android or iOS, and that's a fight I'll keep fighting, but the idea of a tiny Linux laptop in my pocket is just so tempting.
Sure i can join you on the barricade, but i still want to function in a society :(
Sure. And for that I plan to keep a sterile second phone with the stuff that requires that.
Here you can see Sailfish OS banking app compatibility: https://forum.sailfishos.org/t/banking-apps-on-sailfish-os/1...
You can have another device for your banking.
I think this is the way. The Jolla device does have some Android compatibility layers, but I am sure banking apps will not like that.
