It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.

For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

They should partner use grapheneos and sell in USA.

Personally, I'd love a phone I can experiment with pure Linux OSs or Sailfish on.

A secure Linux phone would be the ultimate goal I think.

I just bought a FP6 with /e/os installed by Murena in the US and it's been great so far except that RCS isn't supported by /e/os so group texts don't work. Which is honestly a huge issue that is causing enough social friction that I'll probably revert to an iPhone soon.

They partner with Murena for selling to the US right now (though its only usable on Tmobile).

They are trying to enter the US market on their own (perhaps with the Fairphone 7), but the US carriers make things way more complicated than other markets. They already sell their headphones in the US through Amazon as of late last year.
