    The company Fairphone is indeed based in Europe. My previous comment was to correct the statement (since removed) that Fairphones are “European-made”, which they are not.

    But we shouldn’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good; buying a Fairphone with /e/ os is definitely a huge step in the right direction. Congratulations, and I hope it all goes well for you.

    (I’d wouldn’t mind getting one myself eventually, but I’ve read contradictory comments about reliability with the cellular bands used where I live, especially as I use an MVNO that switches between different cell service providers with varying tech.)
