Peace be with you guys πΉ
This is my first Fairphone with /e/OS and I'm really excitedπ. It arrived within 3β4 days even though the estimated time was 2β3 weeks. That suprised me, because I live in Germany.
Everything came intact: headphones, screen protector, and phone case. They also included this little pin to get into the SIM tray slot, which I thought was great. There was no charger in the box but that's intentional on their part. Doesn't matter to me since all modern chargers work anyway.
It's really easy to use and murena has its own browser. The default search engine is Qwant, which I don't use because of Bing. But honestly, my main goal was F-Droid and using apps that reportedly won't work on Google-certified devices starting in September. I've already downloaded my own apps like IronFox and I'm happy π.
Now I'd love to hear your opinion: I think Google has shot itself in the foot with this decision. By closing down Android further, more people will switch to de-Googled systems.
That's my take, what do you think?π€
@AuroraSine @chrand Ouch, don't use klarna if you can avoid it. The company has a bit of a notoriety of wanting to sink its customers into debt. https://www.ramseysolutions.com/debt/klarna
Buy now pay later is not specific to klarna. PayPal offer the same same, curry's in the UK as well, apple and google offer it for their phones (though I think they might be a bit better with KYC). As long as you understand what it means to take out a loan it's "fine". To be clear, I think buy now pay later schemes are a disgusting band aid created so that we can keep spending more while everything gets more expensive, but don't need to single out klarna for it.
