thanks again for all those helpful answers!

@Stanzi

so is 2G enough for phone calls, or do i need to expect a drop in audio quality?

Calling does not have anything to do with internet.

oh, my oops.
so i take it the 2G-only SIM slot is perfectly capable of makingphone calls.

@BertG

Do you really mean upgrades e.g. to Android 8 or are you referring to security updates.

If you mean security updates that is really impossible to answer, as I expect Fairphone to deliver them for a long time.

oh, i’m not interested in UI upgrades, in fact only security updates!
sorry, coming from debian, it’s always called “upgrades”.
So you still receive security updates for your fairphone 1?
And, suppose I don’t want to upgrade to the next android version, would i still continue to receive security updates for, say, the android-6-based OS?

Keeping your phone longer with a refresh on the inside and out - this is good to see, because it’s so recent.

@BertG

Just search the forum for the problems your friend mentioned. As there are with every phone of every manufacturer. Just search the Internet for any one you can think of.

but twice in a row?
the discussion is moot since I have nothing but their sparse description to go on, but reminds me of my own sobering experiences with an ARM laptop i purchased. i am wary.
well at least i would get my money back, i guess.
