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.

            We clearly have different communication partners. Most of the issues of mine are solved by them thinking about it. Writing an e-mail forces them to.

      Yes. Especially with work, although not necessarily with my personal phone, it does happen.

      Also, it’s a 650 Euro, £562, device….i don’t want to buy it and some parts don’t work.

      I’m with you - I’d pay extra for a phone that doesn’t take calls just so I can force everyone to just send it as a text.
