[image] Waiting for Fairphone 3 or buy another smartphone Guys, it’s time to face the truth Indeed, we do already face it … [image] uk Interesting links / news articles somehow related to Fairphone The Industry Some news on Fairphone 3: “… a listing for the Fairph…

The tech specs [line illustration of the Fairphone 3] Operating system Android 9 Performance Qualcomm Snapdragon 632 4GB RAM Storage 64GB internal storage Expandable with a microSD card Battery 3,000mAH removable Li-ion battery Quick Charge™ 3.0 support Display 5.65 inch Full HD+ 18:9 Cam…

Hm, interesting finding, indeed. Again I could see Kyocera is often present keeping both of these attributes. Anyway all the listed devices offering both of these attributes I could find are technically not really up-to-date and cannot even compete with our FP2 specs like display resolution, dual-s…

This would seem to indicate that the US market can FINALLY be directly supported, or am I off here? 2,4, 5, 13, and 26 are used by at least one US carrier. 2,4, and 5 are used by both AT&T and T-Mobile. 13 is Verizon, and 26 is Sprint. Based on what these carriers use predominantly, ie: what carri…

As per the crowdfunding/investment campaign Fairphone’s plan is to target Scandinavia. Not US, officially. We cannot be for sure until we have word from Fairphone, of course, but that’s the prospect.

Up until now, there is at least no sign of the needed certification for the US-market. It might be in the doing, but I guess, they will take care to get it working reliable in the EU first and will enter other markets only after success here.

Cracking the US market is a risky one. Mainly because, to an even stronger degree than say the UK, people expect perfection from their products. It’s quite easy to put off buyers with small quirks, and more risky for the business as well considering the more aggressive claim culture. A product like …

I agree with you on the nature of the US consumer and their patience with products. I’m a developer myself and as a result have a much deeper understanding when it comes to devices and the challenges of creating them. However, I think there are many people in the states who have a deeper understand…

[image] 2disbetter: I’m just happy the radios will work in the states whether the market is officially open there or not. So am I, not in the least because it makes travelling to the US a better experience for FP3 owners :smiley:

Funny, I don’t care for myself if FP3 would work outside of EU. I’d use a burner if I were to leave the EU. Don’t trust border patrol… (I’d sell it afterwards.) (But I am happy for Americans or anyone outside of EU if FP3 works for them.)

The irony for me is that I don’t really trust EU entities and would feel more comfortable under US law. Heard of the purism librem 5? Not sure something like that would be possible anywhere other than the US. So while you trust the blobs and firmwares on the fp it all seems relative. Do you know f…

Oh, well that sounds like a change of stance given your previous statement: [image] 2disbetter: Also if this phone will be based on the chipset of the Moto G7, this will be fantastic. Instant buy for me. My point wasn’t to attack the USA, or anything like that, specifically. Even though the …
