Fairphone novelty (novelties?) to come on 30 September 2021

OK I’ve just signed up, after all it is September

Come on Fairphone, if you are listening in’ give us at least a date so we have a definitive expectation.

Don’t expect anything before September 30th.

Yep, the contest itself ends on Sept 29th (per the T&C) so, we still have time.

Cutting it a bit thin as the surprise is supposed to be revealed in Sept.

OK counting down to the 30th Sept, let’s hope the hype and wait are worth it. :slight_smile:

If I may, the prize estimated to be at €700 is, I think, most likely a FP3+ with spare modules, an exclusive cover, accessories, but not necessarily a new phone.
Or it would be a FP3+ with a spare core module with updated RAM and such — a FP3 double-plus, so to speak.

It’s just a tweet of a teenager without any sources… but yes rumors are growing…

As written in his bio, he works for mobilegeeks. It’s indeed likely that they have some insights.

And I would sayhis profession is more important than his age. :wink:

Yes you’re right about age, I corrected my post. But without any source its nothing but a tweet in his personal account and not an “announcement”

Indeed it’s not saying that it is true.
He is explaining it by:

Blockquote Protecting the source. Someone would get fired if I would share the link

So it could be everything from a rumor to a real secret.
Let’s hope the second, as it sounds not to bad, what he is saying.:sweat_smile:

Thought I’d do a search :slight_smile:

Looks positive and 700 Euros plus

Tweet says about 600 EUR, so it seems we know the pricing for the 128 GB and the 256 GB version.

I wonder whether there are financial penaltys for shops leaking products early.

It is a bit odd, though I can’t read the small print German etc. but it looks as though it is actually for sale, or is it a pre-order ??

“Nicht auf Lager” = “Not on stock”. And it says the price includes shipping.

I wouldn’t rule out that the info there is completely taken from social media and the Fairphone newsletter lottery, too.

You mean/think it may not actually be for sale just a temptation to try a purchase?

Or perhaps an attempt to draw attention to the mere existence of the shop in general.

And there I was getting my hopes up :roll_eyes:

Was thinking of buying it for my daughter, she’s not happy with the FP3.

Her boyfriend is Swedish so I will ask him to investigate the Swedish site on Monday.

:no_mouth:

The same shop is listing the 128GB version for 630€.
New soft cases for 31€.

Whoop :partying_face: excited.
