    SHIFT

    I just looked at the site and it looks great, but parts of it didn’t look available in English. Do you have any idea if it’s fully compatible with US networks?

      Hmm, I found this German forum thread from 2019, which says it doesn’t support all frequencies used by US carriers.

      Of course, this may very well be different with more modern models. You can try also asking on their forums, or maybe you’re able to contact support directly. So far, I’ve always gotten a response fairly quickly.

      Also just to note, I’m on the SHIFT6mq, which isn’t being produced anymore.
      I believe, they’re currently in a bit of an awkward in-between phase, where you can only really get the SHIFT5me, which is an even older model, while they’re planning out the SHIFTphone 8. That might still take some months, and quite possibly more than a year.
      I don’t think they have the capacity for two flagship models at the same time, so you just get these fairly long pauses in availability, which I just can’t sugarcoat…

        Thanks for looking. I’ll see if I can poke around in their forums.
