I've always been interested in FP so the news that it's available now is exciting. I recently upgraded phones so I'm not ready to dive, but assuming Fairphone is making a commitment to the US, I could see myself getting one of these in the future. I have been trying to untangle myself from the Google ecosystem, as ethics and privacy are a big concern, but so is security. I feel like more research needs to be on /e/ and some of the other android ROMs before committing.
if you do end up going for an FP4, i can't recommend CalyxOS enough. it's degoogled but was also makes android major release updates available to the FP4 before fairphone bothers to. CalyxOS has a much more stock feel than /e/, which is a bit of an iOS clone.
Thanks for the recommendation. I will look into CalyxOS!
