Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Dont they just not want to support US for now?

More that US Carriers deliberately stick to non-global-standard frequencies in order to raise the cost of outside competition.

You most likely can get a decent phone manufactured in decent conditions if you want

If you can, I haven't seen it. Modular phone development in the states has been dead for ages, thanks to the cartelization of domestic manufacturers. And US manufacturers have been exiting China in large part because they can get even lower labor prices in poorer nations across the South Pacific.

Little peasant with “sticks” is a bit hypocritical

Here's the original comic

But you can use them with t-mobile based on a faq about fairphone 4 (most likely 5 as well). That makes sense since they are a german company and Im not sure they would make it that hard on themselves.

See amazon.de. I switched delivery to US and both gigaset and fairphone can be ordered there. There is also teracube which is US based. Also there is Volla which is based on gigaset phones.

Here's the original comic

The jury is still out on that :P.
