I've always been a bit curious about Fairphone, but as I only get phones that cost less than $200 (and use them until they physically break), I'll probably never get one.

Still only on my second smartphone, so I'm not worried about producing more e-waste.

Have you considered Pinephone then?

Never heard of that before. A quick search doesn't reveal sufficient documentation to form an opinion. Do you have better resources?

Can't find it for sale in the online shops I usually use (Germany), either.

I have one. It's slow but the feeling of owning your hardware is well worth it. Also good software can make it fast, see SXMo.

Your first link, I had found myself, but it doesn't say a lot. Your second link 404s.

Looks like it's still in beta:

> Beta Edition PinePhones are aimed solely at early adopters. More specifically, only intend for these units to find their way into the hands of users with extensive Linux experience.

Also, if you include taxes it's not sub $200. My current phone was about $160 including taxes when I bought it. Looks interesting, though.
