Just got an email from Murena that /e/os is available for the fp6.
Comment on Looking to get a new phone with FOSS on it. What should I look into?

I’m very happy with my FP 4 + Calyx OS, FP 5 seems like a fair generational improvement. I dont think any custom roms for FP 6 exist yet. If you’re in the US, Fairphone might be harder to get. In that case a Pixel and Graphene is a very good choice.
TLDR Fairphone if in EU, Pixel if in US

Just want to tack on for visibility as the TLDR isn’t accurate (kinda). Fairphone is sold in the US by a company called Murena, including the FP 6. The only hitch (at least when I ordered my FP 4 from them) was you had to be on T-Mobile’s network.
I’ll chime in and say the repairability a huge selling point for me as I work in an environment where I’m pretty rough on my phone. I legit ran it over with a forklift the other week, $100+ for a new screen (again sold through Murena), follow simple instructions on Ifixit, bam good as new.

I have to ask: what circumstance led to this particular incident?
