Been looking at the Fairphone 6 and damn, support until 2033? That's actually insane.

The whole replaceable parts thing is pretty sick too. Battery goes bad? Just swap it instead of dropping $800 on a new phone or getting the battery replaced for $100

Probably gonna throw /e/OS on it too because why not.

What's everyone else using? Anyone actually have experience with Fairphone or am I just getting hyped over nothing?

Can people in the US just use EU providers and get away from all this, or at least until the EU becomes fascists too?

I don’t think so. How would that even work? It’s not like the EU carriers have any network infrastructure over here.

Phones from other countries still work here. It is just dependent on if thet charge for roaming.

Interesting. I always assumed people changed SIMs when they came over. I don’t think I’d want to count of that. Seems like it could be spotty at best.
