Fairphone 1 maintenance comes to an end

If one understands even a tiny portion of how complex spare parts are, then one is actually angry at Fairphone for letting an entire idea die just for being too lazy.

I know that getting new display units, main boards, you name it, produced for the FP1 is not possible any longer (at least not when trying to keep costs within a reasonable range).

But batteries? They are the most not complex part of a phone and everyone has to replace them frequently. There must be a way to solve this problem. Watching the community coming up with some (more adventurous) ideas indicates that FP has not tried as hard on this as they should have.

This is really disappointing.
