I have started a new business, https://openmobile.us, to sell phones with iodéOS preinstalled to USA customers. This initiative largely came about after noticing a gap in being able to purchase phones with iodéOS preinstalled in the USA, and iodé themselves don‘t have immediate plans to enter the market here.
Of course something like the Brax3 phone will be available as a new device with iodéOS preinstalled, so if you are looking for a new ~$300 device that is a great option, and your purchase supports iodé.
But for others that may prefer a more premium, albeit refurbished, device, open[mobile] may have what you are looking for. Currently I am only selling newer Google Pixel devices, but I can work with you if you prefer another hardware option. I also offer a “BYOD” (bring your own device) option to flash iodéOS on your existing phone if it meets the necessary requirements.
As a disclaimer, open[mobile] is not affiliated in any way with iodé, it is strictly my own personal business. I have, however, worked openly with the iodé team to make sure my initiative is in collaboration with them, rather than in competition with them. If they expand capacity to begin offering their own products to USA customers in the future we will look to coordinate our efforts.
The goal is to make phones with iodéOS pre-installed available to those that prefer to not flash the system themselves and to grow the ecosystem. To that end, I am planning to donate 10% of profits of phones sold with iodéOS to iodé, but this is strictly as a personal donation back to the team to continue to support their efforts, it is not a legal profit sharing arrangement.
