card holder, lanyard or finger loop.
Damn, I was hoping for electronic accessories like the Moto mods.

The first phone maker that makes a 5 to 5.5in phone or so will be a tremendous global success, not just among us, with private oriented OS, but for also the regular Android users... gosh, it would even bring a bunch of 'regulars' to the FOSS arena just to get a smaller phone size!! Tens of thousands of us, with the will and the disposable income, have been demanding smaller phone for years and still, no single Android is below 6in yet! How they cannot see this untapped market niche is beyond me!

A lot of good points - the minimal switch is a great idea - but needing to use a screwdriver to open the case and swap batteries, while still only being IP55, feels like a step in the wrong direction.

Looks pretty good on the surface.

God I wish my network in Canada still supported Fairphones. My last Fairphone just stopped connecting to cellular service one day, which I probably should have expected given it's European bands only.

@HiddenLayer555 @testman Out of curiosity, which network? I'm used to phones from anywhere working everywhere and was going to buy a FP6 from the EU to use in Canada.

i'm in the opposite situation as you; i buy foreign phones at 1/10 the price of "american" phones but with all of the features.
a few months ago, american carriers started blacklisting chinese chipsets from their networks and now i can no longer be sure that a phone works in the united states unless i buy it from an american brand like apple or samsung; which also means that i have to pay a lot more if i want the same features that the $1200 iphone has.

Man, I hate that they omitted a headphone jack.
A modular design should have a module for it
Ikr? It seems like a no brainer to me.
