Please tell me where to buy one, serious question ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿผ

[โ€“] Cyber@feddit.uk 7 points 1 week ago

Here you go (serious answer ๐Ÿ™‚):

Read the bit at the bottom of that page if you're not in the main table

Depends where you live. In Europe, from their website. They are still very small scale so not yet globally available.

There are websites that can forward packages for you. IIRC I ordered my phone from vireo and they were able to ship to Canada, but when I needed spare parts I used a forwarding business and ordered straight from FP. Maybe forward2me or something like that.

Dang, so basically only available via black market? ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

[โ€“] logi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago

I think that counts as grey market. It's not illegal and FP don't promote it and you need extra steps to get support.

[โ€“] thebazman@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

No, some resellers ship straight to north America. FP just doesn't officially support using it here. They can't guarantee it will work with all the cell networks, but I haven't had any problems.
