#Privacy is a right for everyone, not just a privilege for the rich.
@e_mydata sells affordable, #sustainable, privacy-first smartphones. I just ordered a @Fairphone FP3 with #eOS pre-installed 😃. #unGoogle #SurveillanceCapitalism

Oh wow, really? Why do you regret it?
@brianpagan @e_mydata @Fairphone
Paid in Dec 2018 and was told it will come April 2019. Several delays since which they never inform me of I'm expected to work it from their blog.
I've been uncomfortable with the way they seem to operate. They suggested the phone was nearly ready when I paid but clearly it never would have been. It's so far behind schedule but they continuing to take cash and invest energy in pushing other, new products.

Even IF I do get will it be usable? The current battery life is 4-5 hours with a 24 hour recharge.
Other projects have overtaken it seemingly. Pine phone is a third of the price but actually fair phone with /e/ probably suits me better anyway. At least it works.

Have you ever seen a review when they said it's not possible to actually review something? https://www.techradar.com/reviews/librem-5
@jamesmullarkey @e_mydata @Fairphone
Damn, I see what you mean. Sorry to hear about this, James! I’m quite happy with the FP3+eOS combo, so if you have the money and are interested, 9/10 I recommend!
@brianpagan @e_mydata @Fairphone
Yes I probably would have bought a fairphone before now but for Android so it's a great partership with /e/
@brianpagan @e_mydata @Fairphone
I really wish I bought one of these. Instead I put money down on a Purism librem 5 which I already regret even though I don't even have it yet.
