    Dammit, what’s it gonna take for the Fairphone to be brought to the US? The only options are buying it from the Murena shop with their /e/ OS installed or to get the European model from somewhere like eBay or Newegg.

      What’s the downside of the Murena route? I’d probably install /e/OS anyways.

        And you can also overwrite it and install stock Fairphone Android, it’s pretty easy.

        No downside really, guess I’m just more curious what the stock OS is like for the Fairphone

      Does the european version work in the US with their slightly different frequencies? Personally, I’m a little leery of the entire Murena thing. I get the privacy angle, but I’m more interested in the hardware.

        From what I’ve seen as long as you’re not using a CDMA network like Verizon it reasonably works. There might be some minor issues when it comes to network performance on 5G/LTE but lots of folks claim that it’s been working just fine for them.
