Jolla, of "where's my tablet" fame, has announced a plan the sell their SailfishOS for Sony Xperia X phones as an aftermartket upgrade. From the announcement:
Here are the hard facts you need to know:
Sales start date: September 27, 2017. Product – what you will get:
- Sailfish OS image to flash to your Xperia device – our target is to have the downloadable image ready by October 11
- Android support, predictive text input, and MS exchange support as downloads from Jolla Store to your device
- SW updates for one year, after which a continuation program will follow
- Clear instructions and support for downloads & installation
- Jolla Customer Care service
Availability: EU, Norway, Switzerland; US & CA to be confirmed. Price: 49,90€ (including VAT)
Seems like quite the bizarre move for a company that has lost so much consumer faith.

I think for those that didn't receive the tablet they'll be offering the sailfish image discounted as part payment (optional I think you can wait for full refund if you like). So in your case you may be able to use your existing 'credit'. I'm interested to hear how you go, good to see some SailfishOS users around here. I'm developing a SailfishOS compatible cloud stack at the moment, pm me if you're interested)
