How tragic. I’m sorry. As a dirty Yuropoor I’ll buy one in your place and enjoy it for you.
Comment on Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence
SupraMario@lemmy.world 9 months agoTBF it’s not available in the USA, and a lot of us are in the USA…plus even if we got one, a lot of the bands wouldn’t work, so it’s not like you’d have a good connection with it.

Please do lol, I’d love to own one but it’d be a wifi brick at best here state side.

It’s compatible with most of T-Mobile bands.

Unfortunately T-Mobile is really crap in most of the USA outside of major cities. I’m basically in a dead zone with T-Mobile in my town. ATT isn’t much better and Verizon is the best but both are still lacking… literally dropped calls in some areas.

That’s the biggest thing for me. If I can get a similar phone to work in the US with no stability or functional compromises, I’m happy.

“Not available” in a given country doesn’t really mean anything these days. You can buy anything online and get it shipped anywhere. The question I have is does it work on American wireless networks? Because if it does, you can figure out how to acquire a phone…

This is the reason why I never bought an Asus phone despite hating our primary options in the US (Samsung, Apple, Google). It seems most manufacturers forget that Tmobile bands exist despite them being nearly tied for #2 in marketshare in the US.

Yea so many damn good phones basically are useless here in the states. It sucks.
