My name ist Christopher and I live in the metropolitan area of Munich.
My first Smartphone was a Motorola Milestone 2, that was also my last Android until now. After that I had 2 Nokias (Lumia 800 and 925) with Windows Phone (still in love with the Metro Design of these devices). And then from 2016 till today iPhones.
I decided to give Android another chance after some disappointments of the direction iOS/Apple is taking right now. The Fairphone 6 popped up on a tech blog I read shortly before release. I loved the design of the Fairphone 6 immediately…and it was available in a gorgeous green colour!
Now, I use the Fairphone 6 side by side with my iPhone 14 Pro at the moment (luckily kind of easy nowadays with eSIM and one number for multiple devices as well as sync options for photos, Mail, contacts and calendars between these two platforms).
So far I like using Android and also the Fairphone, quite impressed with the photo quality overall. Did a lot of comparison shots with my iPhone…and also “spammed” some photos in the FP6 Gallery.
my name is Timo and I live in Hamburg.DE. I am 40 years old and using Fairphone 4 since 2022.
I registered my FP4 to extended warranty shortly after I bought it. I am still very happy with it.
I am using Linux on my computer for more than 20 years now. So I got familiar with multiple Android-based systems fast.
I’m Crayon, a new fairphone adopter, based in Paris (France, not Texas).
Just went from a Galaxy S9+ to a FairPhone 6 with e/OS, so I thought of joining in to get some tips, intel and possibly help with it (and provid some, if i can, of course).
I am new here, and I thought I’d write a sort of a greeting first!
I recently bought a FairPhone4, which I have just received, and of which I am already very proud - although I am still planning the process of making it fit for use.
However it is a beautiful device with famous durability through modularity in mind. And I think this is the beginning of a long history with FairPhone altogether.
I also wanted to know about the language policy of this forum: should I write in only one language (and which one?) or if I ought to give different versions in 2-3 languages (nowadays no problem)?
Thanks a lot to all of you in advance for your help, and looking forward to also help!
The usual strategy would be to write in only one language. The English is dominant but you will see many posts in different languages as well.
Depending on the aim - whether you want to reach a specific audience in a given community, or rather the general community, you may adapt the language of your choice.
I don’t post in Polish often but when communicating with fellow Polish Fairphoners that would be my obvious choice
Edited to say that we usually use flags to identify topic in non-English languages. On a rare occasion there would be two flags to indicate bilingual topic. And generally it is considered polite to follow the dominant topic language, so do not switch to Dutch in English one but instead, if needed, create a separate Dutch topic.
@yvmuell was faster but will keep my edit for the reference:)
I would like to add: if someone starts a topic in a language, please stick to it and avoid switching.
You will also see posts that people start in dual language e.g. german and english, then you are free to use both when responding. So overall the topic starter decides about the topic languege and others should follow the decision.
my name is Fadi. I am originally from Jordan, but I have been working and living in Dresden, Germany, since 2020.
I bought a Fairphone Gen 6 today, but I have actually been interested in the Fairphone since 2019 and have kept up with it since then, but only now decided to buy one because the Gen 6 has good specs.
My previous phone was an iPhone 12.
The reason I have been interested in the Fairphone (and also the ShiftPhone) is because I am really interested in sustainable technology and developing technology that is good for both human beings and the rest of the planet.
Professionally, I am a software developer working in the field of energy management (EM) systems for renewable energy devices.
My hobbies include: programming, learning the guitar, tinkering with technology, going to the gym, cooking, hiking, playing video-games, watching anime and live-action TV shows, and going to metal concerts and electronic music parties/raves.
Languages I speak: Arabic, English, German, and I am currently learning Greek, but I am still new to it.
It is a pleasure to be here! This seems like a very friendly community and I hope to get more involved!
After that I had 2 Nokias (Lumia 800 and 925) with Windows Phone (still in love with the Metro Design of these devices). And then from 2016 till today iPhones.
