I don’t have a problem with paying you a markup. I’ve done work like that for free before and it’s not fun. However, €400 is C$640 + markup + shipping + your tax + my import tax + any conversion fees. I’m not sure it’ll be worth it. How do you suggest I send you money?
It seems all in, just for the phone to my door is $1000 CAD from clove UK.
Are you using it as your main phone yet?
Battery life is okay? Calls/SMS/MMS are dependable with your changes?
How much was shipping and import fees? Canada post?
$829 for the phone, $70 DHL shipping, ~$100 import fees. I’m probably going to buy it
I have a buddy in the UK who is willing to take ETH/BTC from me and stash it in a box with a bunch of candy for me. Lol.
Yeah, I never got into XMPP back in the day and IIRC when I did look into it having multiple devices use the same account was a bit of trouble. Matrix was just a web API I could hit with python super easily and I never looked back.
Why XMPP? Are there bridges for signal, WhatsApp, SMS/MMS?
I’ll admit it’s been over a year since I’ve tried to daily drive my PinePhone. I bridge everything into a self hosted matrix chat and notifications didn’t really work outside of SMS/MMS and calls.
Man, you’re making me want to try and get one shipped to Canada. This is exciting.
ETA: I’d need a matrix.org chat app working with notifications to switch.
That looks fast too. My pinephone is painfully slow.
This is news? People die when there’s a war.
