I know about the fairphone. It just now became available for sell in the US No one except maybe IT people know about it. Consumers have to know about the choice to make it. It is also ridiculous to point to one choice that isn’t available yet and blame the consumers.

I meant now that there will be an option. Plus, I'm not blaming, that would make no sense because I thought the phone wasn't out yet.
