Of note that if you're from the US, you cannot buy it I think. They don't offer versions with the hardware for the networks you use over there, only for the rest of the world.

Nevermind, this was old news! Awesome!

Not anymore. Now available in the US.
I've seen people say that the Murena version uses the exact same modem as the original Fairphone one. This means you'll get connectivity issues if you use it in the US, which is likely why Fairphone themselves don't sell in the US.
Are you saying that the GSM frequencies used in the US are not supported by Fairphone hw?
I know there are CDMA and GSM telkom companies but I assumed the re are plenty of common frequencies

Apparently just starting a few months ago, you can get fairphone in the US through Murena.
