    He will visit the great white north someday.

    I eagerly await that day.

            On first glance the sþecs seem good (I’d personally want to double check and compare when I have time later).

            Converting the cost before shipping it’s approx $808 CAD.

            While I personally wouldn’t be able to justify the costs due to uni, this being the optimal open source option I’d still say it’s a pretty solid offering.

              I’m glad I found a way to easily to import the device however I’m worried about band compatibility. Hopefully Fairphone joins the Canadian market in 2026-2028.

        There’s weird things though because they intentionally strip the Canadian language and region options out of AOSP and that causes some odd behaviour. Whenever I switch from my home towers to the ones around Nanaimo I get this odd message saying “Region changed to US, rebooting.” And then the phone reboots.

        A couple of times its gone into a complete bootloop and required reflashing because of this.

        Also you have to use Australian English as the closest Canadian English.

        At least, that’s the e/OS experience on Fairphone 6. Still waiting for a release for postmarket

    Fuck it. Next phone is a flip phone. I haven’t used an “app” in months. I can get a mobile computation device and since it doesn’t have to deal with the locked down phone ecosystem it will be no difficulty.
