You are right, it is not an email. The instructions are on our website.

Well it IS mid September and still no new screens. Seems a few people got emails about available stock, but I never did. Are the people wanting new screens being informed in order of their request, or do you have to just get lucky.
It would be good if I could place a back order instead of checking the site every day hoping for stock ā¦ which is always ācoming soonā.
Meanwhile, the smashed screen works remarkably well (I put a tiny crack in the screen of a NEXUS 7 and it was immediately un-usable). The worst damage to my FP2 screen is over the proximity sensor so that doesnāt work (screen stays blank during and after calls, and there is no way to turn the screen blanking function off) - but strips of sellotape are keeping the glass shards out of my fingers.
More screens SOON, PLEASE.

And now my FP2 keeps crashing and re-booting whilst the screen cracks get bigger and bigger. Darenāt strip it down as the display module will shed glass all over the place.
Why oh why canāt we place orders for new displays?? For one, if they knew how many people are waiting they would know how many to make! And the people waiting longest could get a screen first ā¦ instead of those able to respond quickly to a random email before they sell out again.
Sigh. Back to the unfairphone at this rate.
Not that I would like to throw money at a broken part, but putting display foil on it should take care of that.

Aperently not anymoreā¦
Why?
I still can add them to the basket:
Just the display is listed as āComing soonā.
@ModularKing was right when he posted. There is often a back and forth pattern with availability of modules. Iāve noticed time and again that modules went out of and back into availability several times over the course of a few days.

Thanks for clarifying. I suspected something like that already, although itās really a bit surprising and I bet more on a mistake.
Just wanted to show, that the modules are available again, so nobody is discouraged to try the shop.

Not any more! Iām surprised demand for the new cameras is so high (or maybe they severely underestimated demand) the kind of people who buy FP2s are, Iād think, the kind to live with an old camera if it was working rather than junk it to buy a new model. Anyway ā¦
STILL NO DISPLAY MODULES. STILL NO CHANCE TO PRE-ORDER and not the promised emails when stock arrives.
If you want to own a FAIR phone you need an UNFAIR phone as a backup ā¦ kinda sad.

What is actually going on with the display modules? Mine has failed just slightly out of warranty with the exact same failure mode as my previous display, which was in warranty. This is a phone that spends 99% of its time either sitting on my desk at work, or sitting on a table at home - no rough treatment here. Itās concerning that replacements arenāt available from the official store, and as yet no reply to my support ticket. If I need to buy a spare phone as backup to my FP2 to cover for the biannual display deaths, it really defeats the point of owning a Fairphone at all. Like someone else said before, colleagues are now starting to mock the almost constant troubles Iām having with my Fairphone. I never had any problems with broken screens on any previous phones, but since buying my FP2 less than two years ago Iāve had three screen deaths. Even to understand why these screen failures are so common and whatās being done about it would be something.

I donāt think your display module is āout of warrantyā as the warranty lasts 2 years after the FP2 arrived at you. And the first FP2s arrived in December 2015.

Hi,
My display module has broke 6 months ago. I have been waiting since then to be able to order a new one. I received an email in August informing they are back in stock. But I saw the email 3 days too late as I was in holidays. Display modules were already out of stockā¦
And Iām still waiting. Now my display is becoming horribly broken, and I canāt properly read on my phoneā¦I want to be patient but I really really need a new display! When will you have new displays in stock and how to ensure Iāll be able to order a new one?
I am sure you are doing your best to get themā¦But in the meantime I will soon be obliged to use another phoneā¦which is not what I want! 
Thank you for your answers and clarifications
Unfortunately this is a user forum that is not supported by Fairphone directly, although some of them are visiting quite regularly.
Please call the support team. You will find the number on this page:
https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us
If you could easily buy the core module, it would be possible to buy only some part of fairphone and assemble it.
This would reduce costs and trash, not buying parts I do not need.
These parts are back in stock as long as supply lasts:

I donāt know, where you are living, but maybe the FP communitiy in your area has a spare display.
Take a look for possible contacts here:

It seems pre order for spare parts is urgently needed.
This is indeed the case. Since we have the option to be notified when new modules are available, people will go to the shop the moment new modules are in. This way the new supply often sells out very fast. The new cameras are now in stock, but last time they were sold out within 3 days. Letās see how long it lasts this timeā¦
As for displays: you can always contact support and tell them your issues. There might be cases where they can replace it for you. We are currently waiting for new displays to arrive to sell on the website and I hope to have news about that soon.
