OnePlus One OR Nexus 5

@Keneda Fixed, thanks.

@AppLee Good to know. My Nexus 5 died anyway at the start button, another common issue it seems with the Nexus 5. It is a great phone anyway, I had it for more than 2 years as daily driver with UBports.

@Keneda I would love to have a Pinephone, but unfortunately they can't ship it to my shithole country yet, and even if they did, the import taxes on phones are way too high here.

my shithole country

lol, don't be so rude with your country ^^
Where do you come from? (I'm from France)

amc400

@Keneda I am from Tangier Morocco, you have a lot of Moroccans in France, So you will understand why I called it shithole country with shithole backwards people.

Keneda

@amc400 You are Moroccans yourself? if yes don't be so rude with yourself ^^

Maybe you can ask for a proxy buyer that resell Pinephone to you. Or ask @PINE64 if they can add sell/ship option to your country.

amc400

@Keneda Yes I am Moroccan unfortunately lol, thanks for the kind words though, I appreciate it.
A proxy buyer is actually a good idea, I'll have a look at that, thank you very much @Keneda.

@amc400
I think all nations have good and shitty people, and we definetly can't judge anyone on its origins or other critera of that kind, everyone should only be valued on his acts as a human being towards others people and biosphere.

Anyway, don't be afraid to ask @PINE64 too, they are close to their community.

amc400

@Keneda I can't argue with that, I don't have the right to judge anyone.
Yes, I asked @PINE64 if they can somehow ship it to my "country", I am waiting for a reply.

Keneda

@amc400
I hope they'll add your country to their list, after all "~~UPS~~ DHL ships worlwide" lol

Keneda

@amc400
I just tested here (add to cart and then process) https://store.pine64.org/?product=pinephone-community-edition-ubports-limited-edition-linux-smartphone and Morocco is in the list of shipping countries, both DHL (30$) and "PinePhone" (15$) shipping.

@Keneda
I got this msg under Shipping : There are no shipping methods available. Please double check your address, or contact us if you need any help.

I did try it with a DE and US proxies and i got (PinePhone Shipping: $15.00; DHL Shipping: $25), apparently they decide the shipping prices based on the user geolocation.

@Keneda Click on Proceed to Checkout and change the country to morocco, you will get the same msg as i did

Keneda

@amc400
Oh yes, that changed for me... I had choice on cart for France and Morocco and now i don't on both on the cart. And yes, only have choice shipping for France on checkout.
So back to hope for @PINE64 to solve this.
I wish you a good day, i have to go to work ^^

Quick general comment. Can we keep the language on the forum family friendly please and disparaging the entire population of a country is never right. Even if it is your own. Thanks

amc400

@Lakotaubp I apologize for my fellow Moroccans, but I will not apologize for any other stuff nor will I discuss this further as this is not the right place for this kind of discussions.

Again, I'm sorry If I offended anyone, and sorry for the language.
