I saw their website shop update today they are now shipping in September and no longer in August. Anyone actually had a fairphone 6 ship in the USA in August? I am skeptical now and wondering about abandoning plans to go e/os. Maybe both companies are just not ready to service customers.

im not even sure how we can get replacement parts, which (aside from price) is keeping me away.

Well...I can only hope the refund me. Since they only change the status of your order to request cancellation. One way or another American express will get their money. I called their number listed for transactions and it's disconnected. No surprise.

Thinking maybe a nothing phone. I cracked my screen a few months ago. Living with that isn't terrible. Not ideal.

maybe get a premium refurbished pixel 7/8 from back market. i have a 7 currently and it's fine. Battery could be better but everything else works.
