Thr cheapest one I can find is $600, for a phone that is 4 years old. I would prefer not to do that.
Next delete your amazon account.
Google and Fairphone don't. I can't imagine Shift does either being a German company.
I'm not sure why you mentioned /e/OS lol. I use iodeOS, I was using CalyxOS before that. I don't feel entirely comfortable using /e/OS given their recent controversy with using OpenAI for STT. I want a fairphone because I dont want to buy a Pixel just to be able to relock my bootloader + I like their philosophy of carbon neutral phones w long support
I felt the same way about getting a OnePlus 6 or Pixel 3 for PostMarketOS. I'm currently on iodeOS which supports a lot of devices, even some EoL pixels with bootloader relocking. Its similar enough to Calyx. I tried Graphene but it wasn't for me. I'm hoping someone within Google makes sure AOSP stays the A_OS_P, but if not I guess its time for us to start throwing money at rhe PMOS devs.
SO TRUE LOL! If you could get the FP5/6 with a Calyx Membership that would be bomb.
This is why custom ROMs. Unlimited hot spot too.
If I didnt have to pay 2x - 3x the price for a fairphone in the US I would've already switched. Unfortunately, $1k for a device with USB 2.0 is really not worth it for me or anyone else I know.
Idk if I'd call it "very supportive", Motorola voids your warranty to install custom ROMs.
+1 for LibreWolf. been using it for 3 years.
