New one!
PS.: Did you notice the little popup in the lower right corner saying “Fairphone 2 available now”?
There’s even a mini documentary style video in this blog post

Indeed no new blog post, but a VIDEO, which has been produced in connection of the london-design festival and was recently announced in a newsletter:
Haha! This time it was just luck…
Just watched the video. I like how Bas compares an old phone to an oldtimer, which rises in value, when it ages.
Post can’t be empty.
The working conditions of the workers are more important than an earlier delivery. I proudly wait a little longer.

Crazy, but a lot of fun!
Typical in the film he has a blue matte backcovered phone in his hand?

I don’t think this is really the first fairphone that will be delivered to an “ordinary” customer. Since there’s also a GPS inside the package and the phone is supposed to take pictures during the delivery. The blue matte cover is probably a prototype or something?
There are actually two phones in the package
One is taking the pictures: the prototype with the blue cover and one is a real one, neatly packed in its own box, for the first customer
I hope the video came thru a bit; we were inside a huge warehouse and maybe the connection was spotty at times.

For gold, we are progressing with our goal to integrate Fairtrade gold in our supply chain for the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) of the Fairphone 2. In this blog post, we want to share the latest developments regarding the use of tungsten in the supply chain of Fairphone 2…
