I 100% agree with the fact that there needs to be more phones you can easily fix but every time I see a headline like "I need a phone I can fix" I can't help but think that y'all are incredibly clumsy and keep breaking your phones far too often 😅

I want a Fairphone quite badly as my old s21 ultra is starting to reach the end of it's useful life. But it not working on Verizon is an automatic dealbreaker because they are the only carrier that works in the rural areas I am always working in. Tmobile is next to useless, so looks like I am still stuck with stupid network lockin.

So long as it's affordable. I'm not paying more than £250 for a mobile phone, even that's on the high end of what I can justify for a phone.

I'm stuck using Chinese brands if I want a good, affordable phone, but they have so many intentional software issues.

Nothing's perfect, but if I could get a better phone that doesn't lock down stuff (it's my phone after all, I'm in charge of my own life), and if it were at an affordable price point - unlike these crazies that think £1000 is a reasonable price for a phone (!!!), I'd jump on it <3
