Hello, I struggled a long time with myself before creating this post. I really appreciated the idea of a “fair” phone. So after I read about the Fairphone I decided to give it a try. I’m one of the first Fairphone buyers. Back in May 2013 I bought one phone (I payed for it and I was aware of the wa…

Thanks @anon90052001 . It is such communcation that makes a difference. [image] anon90052001: want to talk about the topic of the use of adhesives on the display with the glass and the touchscreen. I have discussed this with members of the product team, and I learned that such a scenario where t…

[image] anon90052001: We’re enabling a tool-less repair for the screen that users can do themselves in just a few minutes, one of the most common needs of phone repair. Hi Joe, will the FP2 already come with some spare display-units? :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Sorry, couldn’t resist. …

Thanks Joe, I agree with Ben that your input here really does matter. When I outlined my personal views above, I tried to magnify those point that, when thinking back about the process so far, led to some feeling of annoyance. As a result my comments on the chipset issue may have been formulated a …

[image] Johannes: there was no mention about lessons learnt from the FP1 (or the FP1 at all), where I do have the feeling it has been a massive learning experience - based on sections in other blog posts. Maybe I just missed an overview of how how the FP2 is influenced by FP1 - if it exists I wo…

[image] ben: True, but to be correct: Fairphone OS is not free software, no matter if you install Google Apps or not. And this is not only about the drivers Do you know there is a running poll about our wishes for the next FP2 “alternative OSes”? You can go there and vote. I definitely suppo…

Ok Uwe @White , seriously, what’s the point of your post? It’s not that YOU or me made possible the first Fairphone. Yes, we paid for the vision of a fairer phone. No one paid a million like you stated. Everyone just paid 325 €. That’s not cheap, that’s not expensive. What in the world do you think …

[image] Herve5: I definitely support Sailfish, and I discovered there is a very large consensus on it apparently… One should not leave unmentioned, that that “very large consensus” you’re talking of seems not to be representative: [image] Poll: If you could install any mobile operating sys…

@starfury : No, the FP2 will not come with spare display units included with each order. That would be a bit excessive, right? @Johannes : I totally understand, and I think with any crowdfunding campaign, there’s going to be disappointment as plans/announcements change etc. Doubly so for electronic…

[image] anon90052001: I imagine you mean product design (screen size, GPS, 4G chipset, Bluetooth etc) but do you also mean what we learned in the supply chain, growing up as a startup etc? That would be a pretty massive blog. Here – at least myself – we were talking about lessons learned in t…

@anon90052001 : I agree with what @jftr says. Over the years we’ve seen some nice blog posts about the larger issues you mention. As an example I would mention the interesting post about the decision to switch away from Guohong and what this means for social responsibilities that were addressed by th…

I would like to (again) point to this topic:

What are the actual FP1(U) failure rates? What is the mossy common cause? Etc. @anon90052001, please give us all the information you can source!
