Well, the OS does run on all 3 devices. But by supported, I mean, not Jolla will port it. But they confirmed that it ran on the N900, but not as functional as on the N9/50. They aren't going to be ported by Jolla (To Jolla, support means port, which they won't do). They said that a hacker out there is doing it, he will port it as soon as he reveals the tutorials. They only tried it to confirm that it works on those 3. A hacker will soon port it to our devices.
Concerning the N900, it will work but it doesn't confirm or assure that the device won't lead to further Hardware faults due to porting it. It will make the HW just weaker, it won't be that good to be daily used. But for the N9 and N950, it will be smooth enough that you can even replace Harmattan with it ;)

Luckily no one is asking it for N8x0 (for now)
I thought N900 users were open minded and always keen for any kind of disscussion concerning our beloved N900s.
Not calling rude names on people who just have questions and ideas.

I'm wrong.

Luckily no one has shot us in the face (for now) .

sorry your grace, hyno111. we cannot compare with your great mind.

Nothing wrong, I can't put my finger on it, it's just fun. I especially love the part with the hacker.

* Not multi touch screen where ux is designed for multi touch

So it could run but not good enough for a daily use ...
The Jolla presentation has shown a Raspberry Pi device, so it seems Sailfish OS is RAM efficient.

heh, I've got one of those:

http://www.swagman.org/juice/12120002.jpg

Should I install Sailfish on that?
Or maybe I could put it on my trusty 48SX lying there under the berry :p

Correct me if im wrong but I thought the N9 and the N900 used the same GPU?
So if it works on the N950 it should work on all of them?
