Looks like they are opening it up to most phones. I've been pretty happy with the service. The data isn't as cheap as I would like but the international data being the same price is a pretty big deal for me.

Interesting. One of the cool parts about Fi has been the seamless switching between different cell networks, which as I understood it was reliant on hardware that was only available on certain phones (e.g. Nexus, Pixel). Apparently if you use Fi on a device that does not support network switching, you'll just be on T-Mobile's network:
