More than a decade after launching in Europe, the Netherlands company is now selling its repairable phones in the US, starting with the Fairphone (Gen 6+).
Listen man, if the phone doesn’t have a 3.5mm jack, IR Blaster, FM radio receiver, pop out rotating 6mp camera, micro SD slots, 2g compatibility, Native flash support and a physical keyboard that pops out like the fucking matrix, then it’s a complete piece of corporate shit and you’re a complete neo liberal bum bandit if you think otherwise…
I’m not sayin it doesnt exist, to be clear, but the only phones I’ve ever seen that had built in radios were, like, asian market phones. Nothing that’d work on my area.
Well, bluetooth, wifi and cellular are radios, so my guess is it depends on what frequencies you wanna cover and how much extra you are willing to sacrifices in price & space.
Okay but I sure miss having a phone with an IR blaster. Was quite fun to sit in the corner of an empty restaurant and change the channel on the TVs that show the menu back when I was a drunk gremlin

I mean you’re obviously being sarcastic.
but why cant phones have a radio receiver? That would be super useful, and something I’d use often.
Some phones do have built in radio receivers. If that’s genuinely a feature you want, they’re available.

That’s fair. There are some available in other markets but they’re definitely fewer and further between.

Uuuh, space trader, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time. I played it on my Palm Zire back in the day.
don’t forget the nipple blasters, bidet, shower squeegee, AM radio, FM radio, CB radio, xray, zray, and replicator.
