  I’ve also been looking at FP but I believe there are some issues of getting one outside of Europe.

  We only get FF 4 here (US), and through a reseller (Murena). And my understanding is that there are caveats in the bands it supports.

    I am in the US, and bought my FP5 through clove technologies in the UK. I’m on T-Mobile and get 5G and everything.

  They are pretty expensive for the hardware.

  Unless I’m misremembering don’t they charge flagship prices but have midrange specs?

    Unfortunately, that’s the cost you pay for a more “ethical” phone. Apple, Samsung, and all the mainstream phones are cheaper because they are subsidized by underpaid labor and sometimes even child labor.

    (Not judging people who buy mainstream phones, just stating the reality.)

      Thanks! I didn’t know that was part of their thing. I just thought they made the phones repairable. Has their supply chain been audited by a third party?

  I crossed them off the list after they ditched the headphone jack and the CEO tried to blow smoke up everyone’s ass as to why. Then they introduced their new Bluetooth headphones.
