After supporting our Fairphone 1 for three and a half years and the Fairphone 1U for nearly two and a half years, we regret that we are no longer able to offer spare parts. We’re proud of everything we achieved with our first Fairphone 1 owners. Together we sourced conflict-free tin and tantalum fro…

FP1 is Fairphone company first shot AND first-shot in the whole mobile industry !!! so I can understand that it is not so easy to fullfill all their commitments (“built to last”). I just hope that this experience is integrated for others products. I m just worry about FP2. I bougth it a year ago,…

The worst part is not to have batteries, the weakest point of these appliances!! I think that there is still an effort to facilitate the delivery of batteries to all those who made it possible to start this company. THKS!

Just a note that if anyone is interested in figuring out whether or not alternative batteries exist or can be sourced by the community, the topic below is where most of that discussion is happening. Testing of potential existing alternative batteries appears to be still ongoing, and I’m not sure how…

Thank you for the link. I read the article. It is interesting that they are talking about economic reality. When I turn on my fairphone it says: “Start a movement” I thought that fairphone would start a movement against some socalled “economic reality”. I know that they are competing with much bigge…

Anyway, speaking for myself: although I was very enthousiastic about this ‘movement’, I was willing to pay quite a lot of money for what the FP1 offered, as well as willing to wait a long time for delivery, but ‘thanks’ to this premature abandoning this will also be my last FP. What also struck me …

[image] Rob_van_der_Does: although many testers say it’s working reasonably well, there have only been produced three alpha versions; not even a beta has been released. At least a beta should have been offered, and also maintained (with security fixes). There must be some major roadblocks or …

[image] Rob_van_der_Does: What also struck me was the (apparently) half harted effort to upgrade the firmware: although many testers say it’s working reasonably well, there have only been produced three alpha versions; not even a beta has been released. At least a beta should have been offered, …

That is not correct: there are distinct differences between alpha and beta software. In layman’s terms: alpha is for partial testing only (for testing of some isolated functionality) while beta is for testing the software as a complete (more or less working) version. And as I said: at this stage I…
