It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.
For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.
From my research, the phone part of the “phone” doesn’t work very well. Which is a pretty big caveat.
I have one. It has no issues with calling, video, ect…
It works in the states as well. And all apps too. I guess my only complaint is parts are getting hard to come by for fairphone 4. Which is why i bought the phone, to be repairable.
We were discussing Jolla, not fairphone
Oh wait sorry for some reason the interface didnt load the first comment. I dodnt see the context. Woops!
That’s the main thing you’re buying it for…
Well, are you? I can’t remember the last conversation I had over phone.
Yes. Especially with work, although not necessarily with my personal phone, it does happen.
Also, it’s a 650 Euro, £562, device….i don’t want to buy it and some parts don’t work.
I’m on the phone all day. Believe it or not some people are different from you 🤯
Goes both ways, I’d be happy if more calls would simply fail midway.
“What a shame, better write an e-mail.”
No one was arguing the other way…
Ah yeah, I love writing emails back and forth for 5 days to do what could be accomplished in a 5 minute phone call.
We clearly have different communication partners. Most of the issues of mine are solved by them thinking about it. Writing an e-mail forces them to.
WTF is a “communication partner”?
Anything you email me gets lots in a sea of bullshit imploding in my inbox. Just send me a text if it’s not urgent or doesn’t require discussion or you just don’t like me.
Well the way you write I’m not surprised people don’t like you.
