My summary about the whole FP1 thing

@ggnglck

The “long-lasting” device Fairphone unfortunately turns into a piece of electronical trash after a few months (at least for security aware and / or open source people), as there are unfixed issues with Android 4.2.2. (and more and worse to come: Stagefright …).

Fairphone will provide security updates for years to come and are already working on a fix for stagefrigt:

Hi,

just a quick note that we are aware of the problem and are working on a fix. This most likely will result in a new software update. We have to balance the current known risk with the possibility that more information gets known after the Black Hat presentation and we do want to prevent having to force our users to update twice. For short we are working on a fix but do not know yet when we will release it.

And even though you can’t run a fully free OS (Replicant) on the FP1 you can run Fairphone OS without GAPPS and with only F-Droid apps.
