Yea, I’ve looked at that. The issue is when I break it - and I always break my phones. I wouldn’t be able to quickly fix my phone because I’d need to order the parts via a shipping forwarder. I use my phone for work and going a couple of weeks without a device isn’t viable.
Fairphone 5
positives:
negatives:
Big +1 for Fairphone
The SECOND Fairphone starts shipping to Canada, I’ll buy one…
You could probably still get one via a shipping forwarder

I do not think this word means what you think it means.
Inconceivable!
I so badly wish the 5 was available in the US. The 4 is too much of a downgrade for me :/
Question.
I’m seriously considering fairphone or anything similar (if it exists), for my next replacement.
They advertise two versions. One degoogled but £100 more.
How easy is it to just do it yourself? Is it just software?
as I didn’t it myself yet I can’t tell you how easy it is. But it seems that in the case of /e/os you can use an installation programm (available for linux/windows/macos): https://doc.e.foundation/easy-installer (its also available for fp5: https://e.foundation/leaving-apple-easy-installer-is-now-available-for-fairphone-5/)
i will wait for fairphone 6
