Hello, I have a question: would it be possible for me to install Sailfish 3 on a feature phon like the Nokia 230? Or is this only an option for big companies (like HMO global) but it is not feasible by an individuum?

As far as I know, the the recently presented 3310 is more or less the same like the 230.

Thanks and kind regards Aurel

It is not possible to port sf to nokia 230 as it doesn't have enough RAM & storage capacity. Also, It doesn't have kernel sources released by nokia. AFAIK, The phones powered by Qualcomm 205 SoC (The latest nokia 8110 4G) can able to run SailfishOS. You can see more details of Qualcomm 205 SoC here https://www.qualcomm.com/products/qualcomm-205-mobile-platform

Thank you very much. That clarifies a lot. So I should have bought another phone for my daughter ;-) However, in case I get a phone with the Qualcomm 205 SoC, how would I install SFOS on it? Is there a howto somehwere?

it's more complicated than just install SFOS on the phone. Here you have more info https://sailfishos.org/develop/hadk/

@hullabaluh I suggest to save some bucks & wait for some time until jolla offlcially launches the feature phone. They also gave a demo at MWC this year & it looks damn good. Also has whatsapp working on it already!

So in order to use SF OS on Some newer device like Nokia 6-my curent phone for example, You need to go through the "hadk installation procces " - mentioned in pre pre post above? I mean You can not buy "pre installed "SF os on Sony Xperia another example?
