Personally, I am waiting (hoping) for SailfishOS to be available to install on my Nexus 5 which is fully Linux based and has the ability to run Android apps. Dual-booting on a phone seems clunky to me... Being able to run VMs on Android would be another better alternative that is in the works (Android 5?).

Have you actually tried it? We have one to play with at work and it's awfully unintuitive to the point where I gave up trying to learn the gestures. It's definitely not consumer friendly and requires a large effort even to be able to do basic tasks.

Are you serious? It took me 10 minutes with my Jolla to get the basic hang of it and after a day of usage, I don't have to think about how to use the phone anymore. It's a lot cleaner UX paradigm than any of the competitors'.
