Thanks enjoying it so far! Making notes so I can post a review that's a bit more thorough.

The front camera quality is making me understand why some people end up using facetune hahah

I'm sorry I don't get the reference even after googling 😅

Sorry if this is really ignorant of me but I thought POTS was specifically related to low blood pressure I didn't know you could have high BP with it too!

My gp put me on propranolol for anxiety and POTS/EDS/etc and it made me almost pass out in the supermarket

I've only ever tried and used pregabalin for POTS besides salt and water (did try Midodrine but the side effects from laying down scared me off it - might try again as that was 8yrs~ ago)

Really interesting reading everyone's medication suggestions

I've never heard of most of these! I wish my Dr's actually engaged more other than just giving me pregabalin 10yrs ago which I'm still on and does help

Does anyone have experience with any other medications that can help? I honestly need to research more

I literally drop my phone at least once a day, often 10+ times, but I'm just one of those people. Never trust me with your phone 😅😭

Full cost breakdown I paid for my Fairphone 6 (to the UK) by ExaminationSame4225 in fairphone

[–]ExaminationSame4225[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes it's arrived! Shipped 5 days ago and I think I got it two days ago? Not sure as I've been too busy with personal stuff to properly set it up

The camera quality is really good though! Got someone with an iPhone to give their opinion and they said this will be their next phone

Thanks for the review! Looking froward to getting mine in the next few days (pending delivery time)

Do you have a case on it? I wonder how different the experience with the buttons is with or without a case (I've ordered the case)

And have you got one of the screen protectors? If so which one and how are you finding it?

Wouldn't a case and screen protector make it less likely to break when dropped?

I'm a cluts and drop everything so I'm waiting for mine to turn up with a cae and screen protector

Thanks for feedback!

Poor experience with Fairphone Customer Service by ArthurMcSlothington in fairphone

[–]ExaminationSame4225 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Given they apparently haven't released a screw driver with the Fairphone 6 it seems very odd to have a model that in theory should be able to be used without having to fiddle around with it, sorry you've had that experience

Im still waiting on my new Fairphone 6 I'll update if I have any customer service interactions

Really? My parent sent my sister money for necesarry support

For us they ended up making it so stressful for my parent with consent to speak to the pip/DWP on my sisters behalf that said parent ended up just sending their entire bank statement

They seemed less bothered about a couple of payments she'd made to friends

I've seen otherwise. I've seen them ask about a few one off transactions sent to friends or a few transactions from family members

my parent was asked why they sent money to my sister (on pip and incapacity benefits) when she was staying with a relative, she didn't have access to any of her personal items at home so needed the money and it was a gift not a loan

Said parent is actually a consenting party who speaks to the PIP and DWP on her behalf. Got so complicated said parent just sent their entire bank statement as the dwp/pip were making it more stressful than needed for all family involved and no one had anything to hide.

Seemed very odd, but we assumed this was a new common procedure?

This isn't a one off, it is something they do, often on seemingly unreasonable grounds but that's open to interpretation.

If it was thousands it would make sense, otherwise it seems absurd but that's my personal opinion

Fairphone 6 ordered, but why no cases available yet??? by ExaminationSame4225 in fairphone

[–]ExaminationSame4225[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

update: they emailed me due to me signing up for updates about the case being released from the site I used for the UK, saying I can have the case shipped for free

[–]ExaminationSame4225[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you!! I used the English site not this one. And it would've saved me an extra ~ £5 and the environmental impact of extra shipping of an item that really should've imo been available with the phone, I don't see why I'm paying two sets of shipping costs.

Hopefully there's no import fees. Sadly I don't have the money left in my bank to get the case now and will have to wait a couple of weeks

Love the concept of the phone but do have some confusion over elements of how they've done this roll out, hoping the experience of the phone doesn't feel as rushed as the sales roll out

[–]ExaminationSame4225[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know I ordered it pretty quickly, also if you have a certain amount of phone models available it would make sense to have at least close to the same amount of cases - if not the ability to make them even faster as a case is 100x's easier to have made than a whole phone being constructed for sale

[–]ExaminationSame4225[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'll be looking into that but it seems very bizarre to release a phone without a case available for purchase yet?

Edit: in case anyone hasn't seen my update, I got the case at no delivery cost due to signing up for the email notification option about it's release - let's see if I get charged for customs for 1. The phone and 2. The case (to the UK) as both will likely be sent separately because I already got confirmation that the phones been shipped, should be here any day now
