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Just about anything I find over on Reddit seems to be outdated, speculating and guessing, or otherwise unreliable.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

The last two Fairphones (three if we count the 3+) have been released in September. If they release the fifth one this year, we should know soon enough.

Also, the 3 and 4 have been released two years apart, and the 4 has been released two years ago…
