I am still waiting for the time I can actually buy a phone running one of these alternate OSes. Jolla has a shop, but shop.jolla.com is "not available in my country". (I can't even see what they're selling!)

If you really want an iPhone or Android alternative you can buy a license (they sell an Sailfish OS for Xperia X or XA2 (you have to bring/buy the device by yourself)) also from non-supported countries:

- https://together.jolla.com/question/169734/sailfishx-not-ava...

If this is too complicated you likely wouldn't be happy with Sailfish anyway as there are quite some drawbacks (and also of course highlights).

Jolla has a very limited amount of money left. They have abandoned manufacturing hardware long ago and are focusing only on software development & licensing.

If a phone maker is willing to install their OS on their devices, they can contact Jolla.

Try with a VPN.
