Quite so, what do we think?? Have we missed the ball on this?

So had a word with myself and cancelled the iPhone!

Back on the Fairphone with renewed determination #fairphone #murenaos

Okay making an official statement here and now.

DON'T be tempted to try the "new outlook", via the insignificant little slider, if you are forced to use the MS beast at work.

Its just a really poor bit of software even compared to the very painful original.

Just dont do it......😆

#murenaeos3 can anyone help me getting the #fitbit app working on my #Fairphone5 with e/os??

Well my Fairphone 5 with Murena OS is now fully in the flow and working very nicely as my iPhone replacement.

Only app glitch is the Fitbit app wont allow me to login to link with my sense watch.

NFC payments is proving tricky with the Curve app, havent got it to work yet.....persevering

#FairPhone5 #murenaeos3

So my journey to de big tech my life has taken the next step, I have ordered a Fairphone 5 with Murena /e/OS. My iPhone has died after I de Appled all my services by moving to a combination of Synology NAS and Proton services.

I will keep sharing the experience, my experiment with SailfishOS on a C2 has been unworkable as a daily driver but keeping it alongside my main phone for now.

Random subject but word of advice on buying #vivobarefoot shoes. They are very expensive barefoot walking boots around £215 in the UK. My pair at less than 17 months old have completely broken down and split along both soles so as to be completely open to the elements. Really frustrating and make sure you look around if you want a pair of barefoot walking boots!

Shame is they are brilliant on your feet but not very durable.

My partner bought a pair and they have failed at 4 months old.....
