- dangus 3y agoIf they supported the US it would be a lovely option. I’m personally just not buying a smartphone that isn’t being tested on US networks.

- dangus 3y agoEven the 4 being available through some kind of weird but official third party is kind of off to me. I really don’t understand how they haven’t prioritized the US market by now. It is probably the market that spends the most on phones.
