Only available in Europe apparently, I was sure I saw this first on the core, but a search did not find it.

One of the draws for me is the replaceable battery. On a long trip, replacing the battery would be golden.

I think its a bit too big, the camera gets a bit of a slating (Probably OK for me) and I tend to enjoy waterproof phones, which will be difficult being modular.

I've been drooling over the Fairphone for awhile.  Unfortunately we can't get it in the US.

The nearest thing in the US is the Teracube 2e.  The Teracube comes with a 4 year warranty and is designed specifically to be repairable: replace battery and screen, but I'm not sure how modular it is.  It uses a lot of recycled plastics, soy ink, minimal carbon footprint, etc.  Teracube comes in 2 flavors.

1. Standard. This has regular Android on it. So Google will know when you go to the loo.

2. /e/ Foundation version.  Same brand new Teracube 2e, full 4 year warranty, but the completely de-Googled /e/ operating system is installed at the factory.  In fact this is the only official /e/ phone available in the US.  Works on T-Mobile and ATT networks only.

It appears both versions are available also in CA, EU, UK.

I like the replaceable battery and the price.
