It is worth noting that both the hardware and software of Fairphone is heavily dependent on a Chinese company T2Mobile.

For those looking to avoid both US and Chinese companies, then the Jolla phone is the way to go.

What is the claim behind "runs Google?" The Fairphone also runs Android doesn't it? How is it any less Google than a Samsung?

Have any of you checked out the reviews on their site? The one's in Dutch?

Hilarious. Almost none of the reviews are about the phone itself, but the promotions surrounding it, whether its available in certain stores, and my favorite, the font on the case.

I guess the phone is so awesome they have to think of other stuff to complain about. I just want to know if the phone is good!
