    There’s virtually no choice for building competitive phones in Europe.

    Or anywhere else for that matter. Know of any good phone made in Canada?

    So FairPhone is really as European as it gets.

    Indeed, and that was not an irrelevant consideration when buying one. As is often the conclusion when discussing FairPhone… “Yeah, that’s far from perfect but it’s truly the best they could do given the circumstances”.

      FairPhone has been of a long journey, fighting an uphill battle. The first phone was little more than an off the shelf phone with some fair metals. You need huge volume to actually convince any Chinese manufacturers to make you a custom phone.
