I don't like smartphones. I use a dumbphone.

But this is a wonderful initiative.

Really wish Fairphone would come to the US. I'd spend the money on it, but they only half-ass sold the last gen phone here on the US.

I don't even understand why. They support most 4G and every mid and low band 5G in America. Even if I could just import it, I'd be happy.

I can send you one probably, but you know.. tariffs (and processing fees).

I appreciate it, but I just got a new phone because I needed a new one recently. I wish it could have been something like a Fairphone, but thems the breaks.

Yup. I was interested in one as well, but they don't really support US customers, so I ended up w/ a Pixel w/ GrapheneOS flashed.
