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.
