Why don't Sailfish support the transfer of the OS to a new device?
I have been using SFOS on an Xperia 10 Plus. The phone was performing badly under SFOS, so I decided to sell it (was fine with Android), and get a replacement.
I noticed there was no Android support on my new phone. I was confused as I am using the same Jolla account. After some research I discovered that purchasing SFOS is tied to the specific device.
Is there a specific reason for this? It has come as an unexpected expense. It's also something to consider should I need a replaced phone again (breakage, stolen, lost, etc).
Is there a specific reason for this policy?
