Uh crap, I just got a pixel... If my wife is willing to take my pixel I might get one (she is sick of her iphone, who can blame her...)

Do they distribute parts to the U.S.?

Fairphone doesn't distribute spare parts to the US but Murena does.

Nice, cannot wait for Murena to carry Fairphone 5!

The improvement over the 4 seems very minimal? I don't understand what justified this new version, it's just better specs without fixing or providing a different solution to notable issues like the size (a smaller version would have been great, the 4 is huge) or the absence of jack (didn't expect it, but could have been a pleasant surprise). Seems like a financial decision similar to any other phone maker and not very aligned with the sustainable values.

what is the motivation behind not adding jack

I think simplifying the design thinking that most of their non-nerd ecolo customers have moved passed this archaism. Eventually it was the main grudge against the FP4.

Wired headphones are more eco-friendly than their wireless counterparts. They have less circuitry, they lack batteries, and they’re much harder to lose.
