Hi everyone 
I’m Arthur, from France, currently living in Utrecht (Netherlands) and goldsmithing as my work.
I like food a lot ^^ we have the chance to have a garden plus an allotment to grow our own veggies and fruit, though it is not enough to sustain us, it is a small part and it brings so much joy to produce your own food.
Besides food and gardening I love to dance, and since I repurposed my old laptop with linux, I am looking at ways to keep our electronics as long as possible and/or slowly mooving out from big tech.
I recently got a FP3+ from a friend who switched to FP6, and installed iodeOS on it, and I love it. I hope the phone will stay alive as long as possible, I will try to take good care of it.
Looking forward to browse more this forum and read about repair / upgrade guides!
Cheers 
Hello y’all my name’s Etienne I’m a MDM Admin in France and we have FP5 in our IT park
Hi everyone, my name is Dario. I bought the Fairphone 6 a few months ago and I’m happy to be here with you. I’m Italian and glad I chose Fairphone 
Hello world! I’m AnErrupTion, an 18-year-old (unprofessional) software developer from some random area in France. I’m glad to be part of the Fairphone community!
I switched from a Samsung Galaxy S8 in November of last year to a Fairphone 6 as it was starting to become quite old and the battery was dying, and honestly, I couldn’t enjoy it more, despite the software issues I can encounter! (I haven’t encountered any hardware issues so far).
I have a few hobbies, among those are programming (who would’ve thought!), listening to music and playing video games (obligatory OneShot shilling).
It also feels nice supporting a company that puts ethics first, which is so unfortunately rare. I’m hoping to get along with this what-looks-to-be nice community, and hoping I’ll prove useful as well!
Hi there, I’m Dominick. I am an OS developer that primarily focuses on non-linear architectures. I’ve been working on an MIT open source project on GitHub designing a specialized OS for the Fairphone 5, while also being able to be translated across all other operating systems. Its based on the Human Cell. I’m glad to be able to explore this development environment with you.
Hallo zusammen!
Ich bin Adam aus dem Ruhrgebiet. Vor ca. 6 Monaten habe ich nach vielen Jahren im Apple-Ökosystem mein Leben Google, Microsoft, Meta, Amazon usw. gemacht. Das FF6 mit Murena hat dabei mitgewirkt. Nutze es mittlerweile mit viel Freude, ohne Probleme, zwei Sim-Karten parallel, Fairbuds und bin total begeistert.
Schön, dass ich hier sein darf. Grüße!
Hey there! 
I’m proud to be part of this community since I decided to buy a fairphone over a pixel phone (considered installation of GrapheneOS).
I’m using /e/OS. My previous android phone was over eight years old 
and I repaired it several times (with heat & glue, no screws, and with much love). I love smaller phones and the head phone jack.. but I can make compromises. Nevertheless I like the edged design of the new FP6 very much.
Until next the next post 
Hallo, ich bin Schwäbin, neu hier und das erste Mal in meinem Leben in einem Forum. Mit 65+ möchte ich mein bisheriges “digitales Leben” Schritt für Schritt umstellen und das fairphone 6 ist, zumindest beim Handy, der erste davon. Obwohl ich Unterstützung von meinem lieben Schwiegersohn erhalte, habe ich mich noch nicht getraut, die Variante ohne android zu wählen - und: eine mir sehr wichtige Bibliotheksapp wird leider nur über die zwei “bekannten” Stores zur Verfügung gestellt. Trotzdem habe ich nun schon einige Google Apps erfolgreich durch weniger datenhungrige Varianten ausgetauscht und mich auch in die Tiefen der spannenden Einstellungen und Berechtigungen begeben. Das einzige bisher aufgetauchte und auch bekannte Problem bei der Kamera (speichern geht, egal wie, gar nicht!) habe ich mit dem Tipp aus dem Forum (opencamera) in 20 Sek. gelöst. Darüber bin ich happy - Danke für die vielen Hinweise im Forum.
Ich bin gespannt, wie die Reise nun weiter geht und wünsche mir, dass immer mehr Menschen versuchen, auch mal neue Wege zu gehen. Bei meinen Enkelinnen habe ich noch alle Chancen zu überzeugen…
Willkommen in der Community Vielleicht wirfst Du auch mal einen Blick auf die 
Fairphone Angels – es ist sicher nicht verkehrt, schon mal drauf zu schauen, ohne dass/bevor es “brennt”
Werde ich tun, ich will ja auch was lernen
Hi,
I’m new here and will probably be getting a Fairphone 6 in the next few weeks, since my Pixel 6 Pro has reached the end of its life after 5 years.
Unfortunately, I first need to see where I can find a good, affordable one—you still need at least a protective case, and I don’t want to spend 600€; my budget is more like 420–500€.
The Pixel will still fetch about 100€—we’ll see when I can make my wish come true.
Thanks for letting me be here 
Joseph
Hello Joseph and welcome to the community forum.
Just a heads up, your post might end up moved into the welcome & introduction section, but I have decided to respond first.
Fairphone signalled they might be increasing the price of FP6 soon_ish, so if your budget is tight you might either look for a second hand one (using the market section of the forum) or consider looking for a referral code to get a 50 euros discount from the original price
We have had a discussion on cases as well, a lot of users decided to get a third party one, for details and recommendations check this topic
Hi Meaghan,
Okay, move the thread. I didn’t notice that section myself at first glance.
Yeah, I’d really love a white Fairphone 6, and yes, it took a really long time because I was torn between Shiftphone and Fairphone—then I spent 5 hours discussing my usage habits with ChatGPT, and my gut feeling made it much clearer that Fairphone was the right choice.
Best regards
Hi everyone! I just joined the Fairphone group. I am in the Glasgow area.
Best wishes to everyone.
