I don’t like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

    Murena does ship them to the USA, but with /e/OS preinstalled, which is great if you’re into privacy and degoogling. I don’t know how it works with US carriers though. Feel free to ask them on their forum, community.e.foundation

      /e/OS doesnt interest me because its far to iphone(esk) in design. Though i might be able to flash LineageOS instead. I also want nothing to do with Google Play Services or even Micro-G. I even think Micro-G is too much of a compromise and won’t use it. If an app won’t run because Google Play Services doesn’t exist, then I don’t run that app. If I don’t get notifications because Google Play Services doesn’t exist, then I don’t get notifications. So be it.

        its far to iphone(esk) in design

        It’s far too iPhone-esque in design

        “It’s” has the apostrophe because it’s “it” + "is

        “too” has two o’s when there’s an excess of something. More stuff = more o’s!

        “esque” is uh…just how it’s spelt

        iPhone capitalization is just their branding.

        I only commented to help with “esque”, but saw other things I could help with. Knowledge is power!

        It’s pretty open hardware I’m sure it would be very easy to flash it to Fairphone’s OS
