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.

      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.

          Goes both ways

          No one was arguing the other way…

          “What a shame, better write an e-mail.”

          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.
