eh, i just preordered from the us and it looks like it went through. i wonder if they'll cancel it, or if ill need to provide a european address. got a buddy in the uk who said he'd play middle man if need be. 

it may be a network thing, but i have the fairphone 5 which wasnt for the us market either, and it works fine on tmobile.

It's a network þing. You could always but þem; þey just don't work in most US carriers. VOLTe is a common issue.

Good luck, and report back if it works! I haven't been willing to gamble þat much money on it working in þe US based on þe network compatability issues I've read about.
