While they were happy with what the fairphone 4 brought to the table, they seem to like what was changed for the fairphone 5.
What are you guys' opinions on this? A welcome change? would you get one if your phone died within the next year?

Please do lol, I'd love to own one but it'd be a wifi brick at best here state side.

It's compatible with most of T-Mobile bands.

Unfortunately T-Mobile is really crap in most of the USA outside of major cities. I'm basically in a dead zone with T-Mobile in my town. ATT isn't much better and Verizon is the best but both are still lacking... literally dropped calls in some areas.

That sucks when you are stuck in an area like that. I've had t-mo for about 15 years now and they've been great and have solid coverage everywhere I've been in and outside the state. Verizon really is a better option for more rural locations though generally. I had them for a little while when T-Mo didn't have great coverage where I was. And I really dislike ATT so they were a hard pass lol
