Unfortunately, it's only murena that I can see (https://murena.com/america/products/smartphones/?wcpbc-manual-country=US), which only has the FP4. It's quite frustrating, I want to support the project and FP is just uninterested in doing so for NA. Even when the 4 came out, it was going to be a downgrade from my Pixel 5, but like 3y (?) later with no sign of the FP5 is oof.
(I forgot too that it's only compatible with 1 of the 3 nationwide networks here, which I don't currently use... but baby steps, just having availability here would be nice)
I can understand your frustration but there are probably reasons. Also the FP5 only came out exactly 1 year ago.
Yeah, the 5 is much newer than the 4, but the 5 is unavailable here. I assume this is all because they simply lack the staff/resources (and customer base) for a NA operation, it's just :(
