@Daniel Wood Well, not sure about the free delivery: I will probably have to pay import taxes...

Me too, very curious to see how long it runs on one full battery.

I am just hoping its specs are not already obsolete.

I'm not too concerned, it's probably not going to be my daily driver, I have my Fairphone for that.

I mostly invested because I really want to see more phones that run on open software and a strong focus on privacy. I see it as my small contribution to better mobile phones.

Yeah it is a great idea. Does it come with an operating system or are you installing one?

Fri, 26 May 2023 21:05:44 +0200

Hans van Zijst

hans@social.woefdram.nl

It comes with PureOS, a derivative of Debian.

Ah okay, going to use that, then?

afaik it uses gnome 4x.yz. That means flatpacks at least. Have fun ;-)

@Ronald Ik krijg net een SMS van DHL (of "de hel", zoals een collega ze noemt) dat ze hem dinsdag komen brengen, handtekening vereist.

Fri, 26 May 2023 23:13:00 +0200

Hans van Zijst

hans@social.woefdram.nl

Yeah, probably going to use PureOS, it's designed specifically for that phone and I trust that it will do no harm. Let's first get an idea of what the phone is and how it ticks.

You can always install something else on it.

No mention of import tax 🤞

@Hans

You can always install something else on it.

I would probably install Debian on it, but that's what PureOS basically is. Only specifically tuned for that device.

Hard to beat that, then.

Let us know how you like it once you are able to give it a try!

Would be nice to manage the phone over Ansible.

@janvlug @hans oh interesting, I had no idea about this phone. I'll look into it. Good to know there's a community in Delft about this

Ah, there's the notice: I have to pay import taxes. Would be so nice if #DHL would actually include the amount, but no...

@Jan Vlug 🌱 🐷 🤍❤️🤍 💙💛 Maybe I know one of those members, someone I know showed me his Librem5 last year at MCH. That was the first time I actually saw one in the wild.

Phone feels nice too: not too flimsy, but thick and heavy.

@hans i've been looking since ages at #librem5 and p#inephone... haven't decided to try it though. would happily soak up every first-hand experience reports you care to share, preferably with photos / screenshots =)

hans@social.woefdram.nl

@івась тарасик I wasn't impressed by the Pinephone. Got one about 1,5 years ago, tried it, but gave up after numerous problems updating the system.

I'll try to post my Librem5-findings here.

Yeah that would be great - I think we are all curious.

Hmm, four working mobile phones... And my #Librem5 should be on this picture too, but I've only waited 2 years for that so that's going to take a while longer.

Von links nach rechts:

Fairphone 4, Xiaomi Redmi, Samsung Galaxy Note 4, Pinephone Pine64

Are you able to use them all at the same time? :-)

Thu, 23 Dec 2021 21:06:20 +0100

Hans van Zijst

hans@social.woefdram.nl

Nope. Not a big fan of the Pinephone anyway, I put that aside a day. The Samsung is old, but I still keep it for my OTP. The Xiaomi is for work, and the Fairphone is my daily driver.

Hans van Zijst

hans@social.woefdram.nl

I put the Pinephone away after a day, maybe I'll fiddle with it later, when I have time to spare. The Samsung still has Signal on it, the Fairphone doesn't: I do Signal in Element on that one.

I had a very old nokia for work :-)

Fri, 24 Dec 2021 15:42:16 +0100

@hans I have two phones; Oppo and Blackberry. I only use Blackberry to listen to the old local songs. I will buy Fairphone one day.

Using a Blackview. Robust, long battery life, no bundle software installed and inexpensive.

My idea is to only use the Fairphone in the end. I'll have to switch the SIM though, because there's only room for 1 physical SIM and one eSIM.

I have the SIM of my private subscription in it now, and had hoped my work subscription could provide an eSIM. But of course, it's the other way around, so I'll have to get an eSIM for my private subscription and switch the physical SIM for the one currently in the Xiaomi.

And then I'll have to move all the entries in my OTP manager from the Samsung to the Fairphone. And then somewhere early in 2022 I'll have to reinstall the whole thing, because /e/OS will be released for it. And who wouldn't want an Android version that has no Google in it..? :sunglasses:

Adam Hunt

gander22h@diasp.org

Of course first you have to actually get the Fairphone...
