Well, were is the link to the press conference? I am just seeing a site which will direct me to the shop to be one of the first to buy a new Fairphone 3?
Shouldn’t crowdfunders have received an email by now @Monica.Ciovica ? I was not able to watch the live stream.

WTF does “Expected arrival time on the website: 12:15 PM” mean? That’s not how websites work!
i am already on the website, but still waiting for the investor mail with the discount code 
@fair2fair
But that is how queing works. 
So the shop does not fail due to too much traffic.
Edit
The modulesa are smaller and there are more screws to connect everything.
So it’s really more rigid, than the FP2.

So what about Bluetooth? Press conference says “Bluetooth 4.2” (@ minute 20:42), specs in shop says “Bluetooth 5”…
That means, that you are in a queue to the shop to pre-order a new Fairphone 3, which will ship mid September.

There are phones on the market with the same camera chip which support RAW format. Does FP3 have raw format?
Is it possible to change the module for network later to support 5G? I don’t get a link to the press conference…

Probably it was updated recently. I would trust the tech specs over the press conference…
… I’m an optimist

Do we really get a discount code from the last Crowdfunding on Oneplanetcrowd ?
Nice, I’m very happy with this being an all rounder of a mid range smartphone plus the 450 EUR price tag. Ordered one (don’t forget your coupon!), and if I like it I’ll get one for my girlfriend as well. We got a young child, so I hope we can still replace the screen for 90 EUR…
You can return your old smartphone as well for recycling. You get 20 EUR for any old smartphone, and 40 EUR for an old Fairphone 1/2.
I’ll be saving my Fairphone 2. First of all, I’d like to play around with Sailfish and UT for a few weeks. Second, I expect being able to sell it for more than 40 EUR.
EDIT: This smartphone just has everything I need. I don’t need a high-end smartphone, the mid-rangers are more than good enough. I need a day battery life, and be able to replace my battery when it is at 80% of its max capacity. I need NFC, I need a decent camera with me, and the whole thing is repairable (latter two important with a young child). Then I want to play some media offline, and that’s about it. Oh, I’d love to have USB-C and ability to use QC. Dual SIM isn’t a feature I’ve been using lately. Not a fan of combining home and work phone (given MDM crap), YMMV.

that is what they said at the webinar on the 15th August…
I would give back an FP1 or broken FP2…
Says nowhere that phones need to be working.
I think they just want to collect them to recycle them.

Are there any information if the phone is waterproof?
Unfortunately, no reference to an “Android Open OS”, just to “Android 9”. It seems FP3 doesn’t offer a choice anymore whether you wish GAPPS or not.
