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Just about anything I find over on Reddit seems to be outdated, speculating and guessing, or otherwise unreliable.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

I should also ask, how long have you had it (it appears that the release date was just shy of 2 years ago; 30 September 2021), and do you thus far anticipate it continuing usage several years into the future, or does it seem like after 2 years of usage you might be headed towards needing to get another/new phone?

Longevity is another of my main wishes/desires

I've had it for about a year now, I'm not feeling any need to upgrade :)
