Fairphone 5 - release date and US support?? (www.fairphone.com)

Ever since I learned about the Fairphone, I keep trying to figure out when they'll release the Fairphone 5.

Further, I keep wondering whether it'll be usable easily and realistically by Verizon, since there's some complications with Fairphone being based in the Netherlands, but I believe generally supported across Europe since so much of their website is in English.

Just about anything I find over on Reddit seems to be outdated, speculating and guessing, or otherwise unreliable.

Anybody know many details about when it might come out, and whether it'll be supported here in the US??

Fair phones are scams, I have a pixel 4a 5g, the fair phone 4 is literally a downgrade from my phone and costs the same price as a pixel 7 or nothing phone (2)

Fairphone costs more because they give a shit about their impact and workers, of course it's not the best bang for your buck when they gotta spend more money paying their workers fairly instead of squeezing as much profit as they can.

That does not make it a scam in any way.
