not sure if that is big enough to deserve a full topic…
anyways, FP6 in white variant is no longer available in the webshop
11 months after the launch. The blue FP5 was also ended earlier but now I cannot find the info when.
Can anyone say, why?
I find the wording of the Support article a bit confusing.
“Due to the demand …” typically makes you expect to hear next that the thing was a huge success (… “so we are producing more” or something like that). However, the fact that Fairphone decided to not produce another batch suggests that the white Fairphone 6 did not sell at a rate that justified producing another run. Very likely the black and green versions sold significantly better and probably already had more production runs.
(I am solely speculating and reading the tea leaves here, no insight into company internals.)
How do I say “Give us your money at launch!” without saying “Give us your money at launch!” 
?
Following on speculating;-) fairphone devices seem to shorten their selling period, less than three years for FP5, FP6 warranty also mentions sales (only) till 2027.
I would then attribute the decision to stop production of less typical colours (like sky blue for FP5) to some estimates and costs of keeping the spare parts.
I was quite glad to see that the swapped frame of my FP5 was also blue 
.
White was the most popular colour for fp6. I haven’t seen anyone with a black version.
I would assume that there were disagreements with the pigment supplier or the manufacturer.
May I suggest that all those reading tea leaves should state clearly what sort of tea they are drinking.
I exclude Urs who is clearly drinking a fine Darjeeling.
Haha, that must be your bubble. In my bubble I’ve only seen black and green ones 
Some Earl Grey with a little soya milk.
At the risk of getting off topic, let me disclose that I run almost exclusively on coffee and own delusions 
Another chance for those who wanted and missed the 
WHITE 
Fairphone 
:
Black and 
green also available.

Unfortunately, you’ve stumbled on a link that no longer exist. Head back to our homepage or shop by category instead.
Probably because that link is redirecting me to what seems the Spanish version of the shop?
Anyway, I can’t find refurbished phones anywhere if I have selected “Spain” as my country, only the option to buy new phones.
Maybe the FP website doing its things again? 
Or maybe a specific country offer… @Fairphone_CM
Being in DE I can select Spain as country and still see the refurbed phones… Any filter applied?
Edit remove the “es” in your redirect me link thats for language and spanish does not exist. fairphone.com/es/shop/buy-the-fairphone-gen-6-2009?color=272&select=275
Nope (neither in Firefox nor in Chromium). In fact, I use the website in English, because I can’t select “Spasnish” as a language (country is detected automatically).
Thanks. I did that now and it opened correctly but using Netherlands as “My country” (but when I openend @urs_lesse link before, I’d say that it redirected me to Spain website…).
Strange and inconsistent behavior that I experienced many times browsing Fairphones website in the last months. I’d say there are many problems when visiting Fairphone website from Spain… 
“Es” is in my eyes the language indicator not country code and is applied automatically when opening the webside I think, and as spanish does not exist as languge, I’m not suprised its causing issues.
Maybe…
A couple of points:
-
When I open the original link (without the “es” in the URL), the browser automatically adds “es” for me. If I then delete it from the URL, I can access the content (even if I select Spain as the country).
-
I’m visiting the site from Spain, but my computer and browser aren’t set to Spanish: they’re set to Galician (a language spoken in a region of Spain), with English as my second preferred language and Spanish as my third. Therefore, if the browser were following my preferences, I don’t understand why it would add that “es” to the URL (since it doesn’t detect Galician (“gl”), it should default to English (“en”)). And in any case, it shouldn’t try to display the page in Spanish if it doesn’t exist (though I think it did exist in the past; I don’t remember).
In any case, thanks for the advice, and I apologize for going off-topic. I’m tagging @Fairphone_CM because I think it would be a good idea for them to review the website’s settings (I constantly come across broken links, and I think this happens to other people too, which gives the site a bad reputation).
Refurbished is now a “Condition” option in the regular Fairphone 6 shopping process in the shop.

(I actually set VPN to location Spain and it seems to be shown, too). Anyone using this don’t miss the colour selection a bit further down the page.
