Peace be with you guys 🌹

This is my first Fairphone with /e/OS and I’m really excited😊. It arrived within 3–4 days even though the estimated time was 2–3 weeks. That suprised me, because I live in Germany.

Everything came intact: headphones, screen protector, and phone case. They also included this little pin to get into the SIM tray slot, which I thought was great. There was no charger in the box but that’s intentional on their part. Doesn’t matter to me since all modern chargers work anyway.

It’s really easy to use and murena has its own browser. The default search engine is Qwant, which I don’t use because of Bing. But honestly, my main goal was F-Droid and using apps that reportedly won’t work on Google-certified devices starting in September. I’ve already downloaded my own apps like IronFox and I’m happy 😁.

Now I’d love to hear your opinion: I think Google has shot itself in the foot with this decision. By closing down Android further, more people will switch to de-Googled systems.

That’s my take, what do you think?🤔

    the biggest subway in the united states doesn’t have coverage except for larger stations by themselves and the second biggest subway only gets a weak tmobile or at&t connection; so which subway gets a good signal with fairphones?

      This was the DC metro. I don’t know how strong of a signal you’re looking for, but I didn’t notice any differences compared to my previous iphone

            T-Mobile

            that explains it. for some reason, tmobile is more flexible than the other carriers; but experience w my chinese phones teaches me not to rely on that flexibility.
