Hey there!
I'm trying to make a list of places that sell de-googlised smartphones ready to use straight out of the box.
So far I've got https://murena.com
Are there any others?
@homegrown Punkt Phone and Light Phone might deserve honorable mentions? Though their both philosophically playing near the borders of smart phone / dumb phone.

No idea
@homegrown I use @Fairphone
@Pixdigit @homegrown @Fairphone it's not de-Googled out of the box.
@najodleglejszy @Pixdigit @Fairphone
I think if you buy a Fairphone via murena.com it is de-googled, but you cannot order this version direct from Fairphone itself.
They are official partners by the way, the head of Fairphone mentioned the E Foundation (murena.com) when she launched the Fairphone 4 recently.
@homegrown @Pixdigit @Fairphone that's true, but it's still quite an important distinction. when you buy a Fairphone directly from the manufacturer (or from one of many resellers), you're getting a regular ol' Googlified ROM.
@najodleglejszy @homegrown @Fairphone Oh, I misremembered then. I thought it came with e-OS but I flashed it with Lineage anyway. And to be fair, the Fairphone ist probably the easiest and safest phones to flash.
@najodleglejszy @homegrown @Fairphone Just had a look again. Fairphone 3 and 3+ are available with /e/ OS preinstalled from the /e/ Foundation as official partner.
https://www.fxtec.com/pro1x -- crazy expensive
https://puri.sm/products/ crazier expensive
https://pine64.com/product-category/pinephone/ -- reasonable affordable, but beta release: not for folks who aren't willing to mess around with Linux command line to fix bugs
@homegrown How about the Pinephone?
/e/ sells de-googled smartphones
The Caylx Foundation has a more complicated system, but essentially you buy membership that gives you a phone.
@emacsen @homegrown they also have prepaid hotspots.
@homegrown https://privacypractical.com/shop/degoogled-android-privacy-phone/ has a bunch of devices with #CalyxOS or #GrapheneOS installed.

There's https://iode.tech/ in France
@homegrown
https://iode.tech/ sells both new and refurbished phones
@homegrown NitroPhone, Volla Phone and Technoethical come to mind.
