I’m looking at the jolla phone and absolutely love it, but its not looking like something I can easily get in the US. Iibrem is available but with a high price and terrible specs.

I’d really like something supporting continuum (usbc DP-alt mode) too if possible.

But the american options don’t seem all that great. What’s available in the US?

    I looked at them too, the lack of a main line kernel and slightly worse specs than their first…Makes it a hard sell. However, I do like the bigger screen which is something that is often seen only on Android or iOS devices. Ugh, I’d have to really think about it.

      Yeah I’m still undecided as well. I wish more of the European options were more globally available. I considered going for a fairphone, but you can only (easily) get the latest model in the US, and it doesn’t have full linux support yet.

        Yeah, the Fairphone 6 is acquirable in the USA and will work on my carrier. The one thing which holds me back on it is…Just the fact it’s too small for my tastes. I need at least a 6.5 inch display, the Furi phone at least fills that requirement for me at a bigger 6.7 inch display. The linux support for the Fairphone 6 is disappointing at the moment to say the least. Another reason why I ultimately passed on it.
