I realize I’m replying to myself since I posted this back in November last year, and I’m now leaving my FairPhone project all together.
I’m not blaming anyone at FairPhone really, you are probably doing the best you can. It just isn’t good enough, it’s unacceptable. And it’s sad. Because I was hoping making the right choice would be a good choice. But it’s not. And honestly, I wonder if FairPhone as a product is aiming at corporate users like me at all.
FairPhone could have had a good case for corporations and public bureaus that require that you divide between work phone and private phone, especially where I live, Norway, because we (officially) aim at chosing sustainable solutions.
And FairPhone could have made a good partner in Norwegian relations. Only, nobody I talk to here have heard of FairPhone. So with a limited customer base comes limited resources and attention. And, apparently, limited security updates.
I gave it a try for 2 years. I love idealism and caring for the world around me. But I also have a job to do. And I do understand that nobody cares, it’s fine.
I’m moving to iOS. Good luck with future updates and products. Please have a closer look at the Norwegian market. Not everybody here wants the latest and the most expensive.
