Fairphone is expensive. You can get a used Motorola G7 Power and flash /e/ on it, if you like. Just need to find one is OEM unlocked, or know how to unlock it yourself.
Not so expensive on long term and anyway cheaper than a iPhone with similar specs, the advantage of Fairphone is, it’s modular, you can substitute or fix easy everything in the phone by yourself.
If you use Murena mail, Murena (e-Foundation) is a EU Cloud provider (OpenSource, selfhostable, encrypted, no-knowledge, green energy) and author of /e/OS and NextCloud, apart asociated with FairPhone, you can buy it there (Murena Phone) with /e/OS by default. It’s by far the best alternative of GDrive, made in the EU.
I’ve been seriously thinking about going back to Nokia. De-googled a few years ago, stopped using iCloud and switched to cross-platform and open-source software.
Currently, the Murena Fairphone 4 is the only one you can use in the US (Fairphone doesn’t directly deal with US customers) and incompatible with Verizon and AT&T. They recommend T-Mobile for US coverage.
Also heard about Cape here on a Lemmy post But Fairphone is “not eligible yet”.
This is the old Nokia 3650 that’s in my drawer. I loved it! Then AT&T made me upgrade because they were no longer supporting the old networks.
Thank you, Zerush!
It’s nice to know that someone else thinks the same way.
Don’t use iPhone, use Fairphone with /e/OS or any dump phone, even the old Nokia in your drawer, which for sure still works, and only for calls.
Use the I2P network
