Mmmhm. I’ve been eyeing them since their first phone. I’m sure they will offer even the most basic “international shipping with no warranty or support” any day now…
my skeleton, 64 years from now, in front of a computer with the website loaded, waiting for the global debut
Idk where you are, but looking at their shipping info they list some authorized resellers that ship to the US. As you said, they will have varying levels of warranty etc but yiu also have to check hardware stuff like mobile network compatibility etc
Unfortunately, it’s only murena that I can see (https://murena.com/america/products/smartphones/?wcpbc-manual-country=US), which only has the FP4. It’s quite frustrating, I want to support the project and FP is just uninterested in doing so for NA. Even when the 4 came out, it was going to be a downgrade from my Pixel 5, but like 3y (?) later with no sign of the FP5 is oof.
(I forgot too that it’s only compatible with 1 of the 3 nationwide networks here, which I don’t currently use… but baby steps, just having availability here would be nice)
Yeah, the 5 is much newer than the 4, but the 5 is unavailable here. I assume this is all because they simply lack the staff/resources (and customer base) for a NA operation, it’s just :(

I can understand your frustration but there are probably reasons. Also the FP5 only came out exactly 1 year ago.
