Ah, another post on a great new addition to the Fairphone lineup, another post where the top comments are complaining about because there is no headphone jack, they won't consider it.

Y'all seriously have your priorities messed up if that's what keeps you from supporting Fairphone. If having a device with a headphone jack is that important to you, invest in a dedicated audio player. You can get some with high quality DAC's and more. But seriously, y'all need to cope about the Fairphone not having a single feature you want being a total deal breaker. That's honestly petty...

I'm honestly surprised GOS hasn't supported the FP yet. CalyxOS has for about a year or so now, and I imagine they'll support the FP 5 too.

Yeah, I hope the FP5 will come to the US officially too. I know the FP4 could work here, but it apparently did have issues with a carrier or two, or something.

Hopefully the 5 will bring true support for US markets.

Fairphone brings a much better device to market with better cameras, a better screen, likely a better chip, open hardware specifications and modularity, a completely unlockable bootloader (with likely support for CalyxOS and other ROM's shortly), and up to 8 years of software support(!), but people say they won't get it because no headphone jack...

MFW people have their priorities extremely mixed up... That's been the world now for 6 years, it's time to get over it. Letting perfect be the enemy of good is how you decide to throwaway something as good as what Fairphone seems to be offering. Sony still offers Android devices with headphone jacks, just don't be upset if you don't get another Android version pushed to your device.

It's honestly remarkable how few people in the comments here seem to get the joke.

Never stop dissecting things, y'all.

Because it's just a proxy for Bing, with all the pitfalls of that.

Lots of that going around for stuff like this.

Imagine if someone had said something like this about the 1st generation iPhone... Oh wait, that did happen and his name was Steve Ballmer.

May want to lock this community here so people move over to the correctly named one.
