@hadronized unfortunately I'm also still on a Samsung/Android device. But I'd love to switch to a Fairphone some day. I know that there's a bunch of mobile OS's as well, like @postmarketOS and @LineageOS . Will boost your post so others can weigh in.

@hadronized @Gina in Denmark you struggle to exist without either iPhone or some supported android device.
Citizen digital signing service is an app (physical token CAN be obtained).
Public transport is also requiring* an app (physical card CAN be bought).
Our pay-from-mobile stopped working on liberated Android due to googles latest shenanigans.
Digital post, doesn’t work either. Can be accessed from a web browser.
It is highly inconvenient to use software NOT made by either Apple or Google.
@hadronized @antaeus same in the Netherlands. I'll switch when I know for sure that services like DigiD, Berichtenbox and 3 different banking apps work on my phone.
@hadronized @antaeus @Gina data point that can be handy for you: living in NL with a Fairphone 5 with e/OS. DigiD works, banking with 2 banking apps work, I read that they also got Revolut working semi recently but that needs validation.
Main issue is with the maps for me, Magic Earth, the default maps app, is a bit of a hit or miss, might take a few tries to get started, especially on low battery.
@hadronized @antaeus @reshi maps is a big one for me too, I don't really function without it.
@hadronized @antaeus @Gina yeah, especially if you travel a lot. NS and 9292 cover NL decently, but whenever I go to a new place the experience is annoying compared to Google Maps.
On a brighter note, everything else is quite good! They even offer some cloud things based on nextcloud, but hooking up your own nextcloud instead is easy.

@Gina @hadronized @postmarketOS @LineageOS try #sailfishos from #jolla. European, been there around for more then 10 years, only need some more love from Europe. I use it on a Fairphone these days. Love it!

Chiming in as I recently switched my iPhone for a Fairphone 6 with /e/OS, after ~20yrs on apple devices. So far this has worked very well! I have a few things to sort out still, but no dealbreakers. Biggest issue so far has been #vipps, the defacto norwegian/nordic money transfer app. I am able to use it, but for some strange reason it needs to be deleted and reinstalled every week or so. A nuisance, hopefully a temporary one, not a real problem. For navigation I now use CoMaps and/or Organic Maps. I'm in the process of setting up Immich, as a replacement for iCloud photos. Feels great, and I'm discovering new cool stuff all the time. In a few years I'm hoping to be able to install a more "pure" linux OS on the phone, but for now the degoogled android feels like a big step in the right direction, at least for me.
