Unfortunately the project has some closed source bits which, imho, aren’t an issue when you look closer. Maybe I’m naive but I trust this EU company.
I use it as my daily driver. It certainly is frugal compared to recent Android versions, but fully functional.
I used Maemo on my N900 <3.
I don’t wanna use Sailfish bcs of the phone support tho, I’m shallow af & I need my hardware :(.
(I also have a few other Sailfish issues, the source code/availability/package, the licencing - but I feel like all of those could/would change with some growth.)
I understand. But I think it’s right that they concentrate on a few devices. There’s also something about SONY openly providing firmware iirc.
Ah, the N900…
Yes, I agree.
But Sony has drivers out there for a few more devices.
Do you by chance know if WeChat and Facebook messenger work on it?
Those apps are critical for my work.

Sadly, SailfishOS is region locked. Being from North America, I can’t purchase their phones, or use the trial/emulation option, which really sucks because I like a lot of what I’m seeing there.

Us here in NA finally get to see what its like on the other side of the region locking coin haha.

Yeah, I’d be happy if they had an unsupported version, but I get that could cause negative publicity for those who couldn’t accept that unsupported means exactly that.
