@MikaKpk Consider the @Fairphone #FP3plus.
Sadly, #Fairphone did #downgrade future versions with no real #DualSIM but shitty #eSIM [put that thing on a #NanoSIM instead FFS!]...
@MikaKpk @Fairphone Also even then removing features is not a valid argument.
The #GalaxyS5 had #ToolfreeSwappableBatteries, splash resistance and a #HeadphoneJack - Sony even hat proper #waterproof #XperiaZ Smartphones that were literally advertised for making #Selfies in a #SwimmingPool.
And lets be honest:
Anyone like me who takes #Diving serious would not mind having to pay like €50-100+ for a rugged case that'll do 50m seawater if I ever wanted to abuse a smartphone as diving computer.
@MikaKpk @Fairphone Also even if #fairphone wanted #eSIM so badly they could've put it on a #NanoSIM-Card and provided an #App to use it as an option so people get both real #DualSIM and #eSIM.
Or better yet: Offer the #eSIM as #NanoSIM-Card in their Shop as Accessory just like their chargers and cables, which would also save the envoirment!
@CodexNotFound@mastodon.world @MikaKpk@zug.network @MastaBro@mastodon.social @Fairphone@social.weho.st Yes: 1. Whilst a court in Germany made it illegal to charge fees for transfers, that's only applies for eSIMs issued by providers in Germany. [source in German] https://www.teltarif.de/drillisch-esim-gerichtsurteil-keine-15-euro-zahlen/news/86908.html 2. What device I use is none of my providers' business - period. 3. I want to be able to use my SIMs and associated plans in ANY DEVICE without fiddling. 4. eSIMs are specifically designed to erode one's privacy and options. 5. Not all plans are available as eSIM!
@MikaKpk @Fairphone And if that's too complicated, make a #DIP-Switch near the 2nd SIM slot to switch betwern the #eSIM and #SIM card.
Sadly I don't have the €€€€€ needed to setup a company that does offer a better alternative to https://esim.me ...
Otherwise I would've done so already...
