I just wish there was a way to get the Fairphone in the U.S. I love the repairability aspect and I already use LineageOS as my main OS to keep my devices as long as possible. I also have access to a 3D printer to build accessories and parts for them too.

A good idea if you can't buy Euro is to buy used and flash LineageOS if your device is supported. I'm using a Pixel 4a 5G as my driver with LineageOS since I know how to repair it and I have easy access to parts for them. (Thanks to buying bulk parts from local offices near me that used them.)

Pretty sure Murena (the guys behind /e/os) sell it in the US.

I don't know who Murena is, but I appreciate you sharing this with me! I will definitely look into them! Do they just go by Murena or do they have a Merchant front with a different name?

Murena is the name of the company. Here's a link to their US site: https://murena.com/america/products/smartphones/?wcpbc-manual-country=US

Well, I suppose that you can order one via international delivery company straight from a manufacturer/seller. It may be more expensive and longer to wait but totally possible.

I thought about doing it, but the prices for parts and importing them was my reasoning to stop because of the tariffs and the already high price of the product. But I might give it a go once I run out of parts for my Pixel 4A 5g or the LineageOS maintainer stops working on it.
