    @waldschneckeHere's a "Fairphone Angel", I got my first FP3 in 2020 then I had FP5 and now FP6.For the same price you can get a better phone both from a performance point of view and from a "stability" point of view (it's like using Linux, sometimes you need to workaround a problem).So, if you buy it on a "weak motivation" there's a risk you get disappointed because it's strong point is ethics.I'd say FP is a phone for human rights or environmental activists, people who put that stuff above many other things.This being said, it's a good phone, you can make calls, browse the internet, listen to music, you have Wi-Fi, Bluetooh, NFC and all that nice stuff.It's also the only phone I've ever had that makes me proud of it. Usually, a phone can make you happy if it's a good phone but not make you proud of it. Well... FP does it.There is a strong community (the Linux analogy is always OK) that can help you if you run into troubles. There is a support team that's really slow to reply in case you need it so better if you keep a backup phone, just in case. However, when I had a problem (and after letting me wait for weeks) they really made everything they could to solve it. I've never seen the same involvement in any other support service.Despite my involvement on the project I never suggest to anybody he/she should buy this phone, I don't want that responsibility. Satisfaction can be very different depending on how you weigh technique and ethics.However, it's my phone since 2020, I'm happy for that and I would never change my FP6 for an iPhone 37 (or whatever number they are now 😀 )My best wishes you can make the best choice for you.P.S. If you live in Sweden have a look at "Bark Sweden" wooden cases. They have also for FPs, I've got one and it's the best suit for that phone 😀

    Thinking about this old book I read, "How to make over old dresses" by Augusta Prescott, 1892.

    And, at the end, quite sweet despite the patina of the era: "WHEN you have completed your dress, it may not be perfect in every respect, but if you have been careful, it will surely be very nice, and something of which you may be very proud, because it represents much care and thought.Finish it well to the last loop, and sew in the dress shields. Take out the basting threads, be sure that the seams are finished, and that it is all in “‘apple-pie order.”Don’t point out to people any defects that may exist.Do not lift up the overskirt to show that the underskirt is pieced down with goods of a different kind.Do not show that the under-arm pieces are faded.Do not tell anybody that the full front covers buttonholes that are torn out.Do not say that the beautiful bias band around the bottom of the skirt hides a ghastly muslin gap. --"

    Got my #Fairphone running /e/OS , a deGoogled Android OS.I took a bit of a gamble, as I wasn't sure all the apps I really need would run. Turns out they do, including the Nordea ID app.It is usable as a daily driver./e/OS looks clean and uncluttered too.

    I've just received my Bark Sweden wooden case, it's the second one, as I got one for my FP5 too.

    @genofire @WeAreFairphoneReinforced corners are exactly what they mean: the corners of the covers have something different, they probably build that part in a different way or with different material but they're a bit different from the rest of the cover.The MagSafe must be some Apple stuff. A tag maybe or something like that, and the cover probably has some room for it. I guess... as mine is without it.
