Fairphone’s latest repairable device is for people who hate saying goodbye to an old smartphone more than they like buying a new one.

Except Nokia isn't European anymore since Microsoft ruined them and sold the brand to the Chinese company HMD Global. You're welcome.

I thought hmd was based in Finland?

Yeah that guy is full of shit, their HQ is in Espoo, I've been there.

You are wrong. HMD is a Finnish company, not Chinese. Apparently it is largely made up of former Nokia employees.

If you're going to be a smart-arse and say things like "you're welcome", maybe you should check the facts first.
