The current (~~6 Feb~~) version of Sailfish has a defect with the auto brightness: on first boot this means you get a blank screen. You need to hold your phone up to a bright light to enable the screen, then disable the auto brightness in Settings, Display. [https://forum.pine64.org/showthread.php?tid=9054 See this forum thread.] If you're not familiar with SFOS, be prepared by having a Jolla account and skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left. ~~This~~ is ~~just because holding~~ a ~~light over~~ the ~~sensor can be tricky, otherwise~~ the ~~SFOS tutorial is necessary as~~ the ~~UI is not that intuitive~~.

The current (2 Apr) version of Sailfish no longer has a defect with the auto brightness! If you're not familiar with SFOS, be prepared by having a (free) Jolla account and pay attention to the tutorial - the interface works great but isn't immediately obvious. If you are familiar with SF you can skip the tutorial by touching all 4 corners starting top left. There is a poor selection of apps available from the Jolla store. To enable openrepos.net install the Storeman app by downloading the rpm from https://openrepos.net/content/osetr/storeman. Browse the apps and add repository first from the pulley menu before installing the app.
