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Just about anything I find over on Reddit seems to be outdated, speculating and guessing, or otherwise unreliable.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

You can still buy a refurbished phone, it arguably has less environmental impact to any new phone, even a fairphone

For some bizarre reason, although I prefer and lean towards certified refurbished electronics in like every other arena and regularly suggest them to friends and family, I hadn't considered one here, for my next cell phone. Thank you for this so-simple suggestion! 🤦‍♀️
