    I have one too, really like it. Performamce is pretty much on par with my previous phone, Pixel 7, though battery is much better. The slow USB-c port sucks, but fortunately I can use an SD card for large file transfers. I just had to get a case because the body is a bit too slippery for me.

      If it’s just for file transfers, have you tried local send? That’s only limited by your local connection speed to your own network. Any 2 devices on the same network can transfer arbitrarily many/large files back and forth

    Regional restricted phone. Can’t even deliver through forwarding company because store does not accept payment method with billing address from my country.

        It would be completely fine for me if this company could not deliver the phone to my country. Logistics is difficult and expensive. If i wanted to get one anyway, i could just deliver it through forwading company from my country, for an additional delivery fee. The main problem however, which i am the most outraged about, is that they intentionally restrict payment from countries where they will not deliver, even though i have money and can deliver through third party delivery service.

            In what way forcing a regional restriction a good thing? All banks in my country support international payment methods like master card and visa, while most banks also provide and option to register an euro card. How does intentionally not accepting international payment even in euro just because the card is registered in other country, a good thing and counts as a strict complience?

          Take this with a grain of salt as i am not an expert but when i looked into it if you sell knowing it will go to a forwarding service to a specific country legally it then counts as selling to that country and the seller is on the hook for all the regulations so they have to block it.

            Then it is a regional restriction. Its one thing when company does not bother selling it in other country, and a completely different thing when it is intentionally restricting product sales in those countries. And unlike software, physical products cannot be just pirated, while smuggling is signicicntly risker.

    I’m in the US and bought one. Put LineageOS on it, and I’m really enjoying it. It has like double the battery life of my old phone, and I don’t know if that’s because of the phone or because none of my apps are constantly uploading my personal data.

      CalyxOS

      Relocked bootloader for security, banking apps in seperate user profits, built-in work profiles for the more needed but shit apps.

      I am loving it on my fairphone 6 so far, and the flasher tool was very easy and it automatically triggers the locking steps so you can’t mess it up.

    Hope this trend continues. My Pixel has a solid 5 years left easily but after that this’d be great. Looking at Framework laptops as well.

    I bought two a few weeks ago. One my wife and I, each. We both love it so far. Also because we just barely missed the promo for free fairbuds, they supplied us with two gift cards for equivalent deal.

    Fantastic customer service.

    I’ve tried to finding if they’d work in Australia so i can import one. Our telcos are super restrictive about phones becase we shut 3G and coaling our emergency number is fraught with issues on many phones

    Oh, so does this mean it’s popular enough for a bunch of people to buy as much of them as possible and sell them in the US at %500 percent of what they’re worth?

    Because that’s what will happen.
