Yes you are. Go to https://shop.jolla.com/ and click Free Trial for supported devices to get the free version that will let you try out SailfishOS on any of the supported devices.

This is the full version of the OS and you will get access to most apps. The paid version adds automatic OS updates, Android App Support and some other features. Check Support & get a licenseto see details.
