I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

Really wish Fairphone would come to the US. I'd spend the money on it, but they only half-ass sold the last gen phone here on the US.

I don't even understand why. They support most 4G and every mid and low band 5G in America. Even if I could just import it, I'd be happy.

I'm using this phone right now and I love it. it feels solid. Im using a degoogled ROM and it just works, there seems to be a lot of people pressing for graphene os specifically and discrediting the phone for what it is. its so easy to take apart and cheaply repair its great. it's perfect for folk who want a decent smartphone that you dont have to worry about being thrown around. sure it's not perfect but it is still a very good

I have been shopping for a rom for my FP. Which are you running?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 days ago

I use CalyxOS on mine. It has microG all working by default so if you need that sort of thing it's probably the easiest way to get it up and running
