No U.S. Fairphone?

I think they may have some problems which hinder them to enter the North American Market:

  1. Serving North America requires additional steps, e. g. a distribution center in North America.
  2. According to this post, Fairphone needs an expensive FCC certification.
  3. They are very busy now to satisfy their European customers.
  4. They maybe want to solve some problems experienced with the FP2 (e. g. software bugs, Marshmallow and the alternate operating systems, bad camera, …) and want to enter the North American market with an improved version of the FP2.
  5. In North America, it seems that the hardware needs to be slightly changed. For example, 4G won’t work there.
