Very fucking nice!

With any luck I can switch over when the Android support runs out.

Does anyone know how timeline for the FairPhone 5 looks like? I am thinking about getting one and use Ubuntu Touch until pmOS has proper support for it.

No one really knows, as there is no organized effort to make it work. Basically it is just volunteers who work on it when they feel like and currently the FP5 doesn't seem the priority. But overall the FP5 support in PmOS isn't too bad, however cameras also don't work and the internal speakers don't work either.
