I only recently updated my android phone so I won't be jumping on this immediately. But I am very excited to see something like this arrive in the US. Will definitely be keeping an eye on it.

Between this and the Framework Laptop it seems like we can be hopeful about having more repairable devices. I hope this is a trend that catches on.

I'd love one, but no headphone jack, as Fair phone decided to jump into the wireless earphone game. What an irony.

Edit: Also, not really Android, but an AOSP fork. Errr, not sure if this will fly in the USA.

What's wrong with AOSP forks in the US? I've used both official and community built cyanogen and then lineage for about 10 years now and I always prefer it over stock roms or vanilla aosp

In USA where the percieved easier to use iOS reigns supreme? I think combining two niche groups just makes for a much smaller market. I mean, look at some of the comments on the Ars article as it is, there're highly rated comments from users who're interested who don't want it degoogled.

I'm still on my OnePlus 7T which is holding up pretty well but I'm so happy to see this phone as an option in my market, pretty sure my next phone will be a Fairphone.

Good news. I really like my FP3+ (with /e/OS), my next phone will be either FP4 or FP5 :)
