Audio through speakers support for the FP5 on PostmarketOS also made a big breakthrough this week.

When can I buy one in Canada (without being forced to jump through some grey-market hoops)?

    Recently got one via Clove from the UK https://www.clove.co.uk/

    I was pretty nervous getting it cause did not really know how it was gonna go, and they asked for a photo of my credit card (without the secrets of course) and proof of residence, which was a bit spooky, but it's their attempt (or so they say) at pushing back against potential scalpers.

    Do check Fairphone's community form about owning one this way though, cause there's been other Canadians who have gotten the phone, and they have tidbits to share about. We also don't get warranty cause we're outside the EU AFAIK.

    Just use something like ebay and you'll find enough offers.

    I'm not spending that much money with a shady ebay seller.

    Yeah, I just spent it with a non-shady seller. If that thing isn't fine, I'll return it. For up to 24 months in this country. Then I'll either get the money back, replacement or a repair. Law is there for a reason. No idea about the consumer protection law you can leverage, but I'm not worried about the offer I chose yesterday.
