Yes. Next time I upgrade, I've got my eye on fairphone.com, for what it's worth.
Not quite sure what that argument has to do with my preposition though. I had no such illusions about my phone manufacturer (Samsung). Google set out on a different path ("Do No Evil"), but turns out they're not much different to Samsung et. al. now, and that was my argument. Many still see them as working in a different way, but they don't.
Those associations, while not by any means ideal, are somewhat necessary. As inferred by the argument it's hard to find ethical phone companies at that scale.
There is absolutely no need (at least technologically) for this link up. Its purely brand marketing, and they picked the wrong brand.
