This morning at the team meeting we heard that final assembly did not start today. Allegedly there are problems with the PCB’s.
I am now trying to get more info and hope to sent it out over mail and post in the blog.
This is all I know now, as soon as I hear more, you will hear from me.
As delivery date nears, even if there seems to be some bumps ahead, are there any news about the software? Just asking as I very much would like to have permission management for apps like in CM and the likes…
Fairphone team (@Douwe) you really need to break these things up. For a start, unless all 3 pieces of info come in aright at once, it’s artificially holding back some info. Secondly, online content performs much better when broken into single-subject chunks.
Can we please have shorter, more regular single-subject blogs?
I disagree with you on that. It’s a decent update, which is not too long and it doesn’t feel like they artificially held information back to give a longer update. So far, Fairphone has done a very good job at keeping us updated and it appears that there’s another couple of updates around the corner.
I would also be happy about shorter and more regular updates, but @Douwe does a nice job and Fairphone’s been more than fair regarding their communication! Of course there’s always room for improvement, but it also need to make sense and we couldn’t tell really, as we’re missing all the behind the scenes info. Compared to other companies, I’m still more than happy with Fairphone and think that others can learn a lot from them!
But not announce a delivery date (as a best guess based on the available data) would (and did) annoy a lot of people as well…
As you can see: it is not possible to make it right for ALL!
True enough. I would have thought building in a month of spare time for delays would have been wise though. People are very forgiving if you give them a weekly update!
I am very sure that they build in spare time for delays, especially after the experience with their last phone. They might just have used it all up.
Not holding the FP2 in my hands yet but I hope it is not too early to say that they’re doing much better than last time
