Hey everyone!
I have to support explit’s point.
I am almost certain, that Fairphone is doing a great job, when it comes to producing great products in a way that they help everyone. Therefore I am more than willing to spend my money and support this company, which seems to be the only one in this market at the present time, to be worth considering.
A great part of my judgement is based on the transparency this company is providing.
When it comes to free OS, a lot of people, including me, were even more excited, to see an already fair product also becoming ‘free’ in terms of software.
To be fair, Fairphone never promised to officially support a version of SFOS with Alien Dalvik.
But it was made clear, that Fairphone was going to support such efforts.
The efforts, that have so far been made, as far as I see it, are more or less limited to a very dedicated community porter.
So if Fairphone is actually trying to help here and maybe even aim for an official cooperation with Jolla, you should at least be open about it and write a little Blog post.
As this has not happened yet, I can see some customers and even more future customers - it’s a whole bunch - not being satisfied with the present state.
If Fairphone was not willing to support SFOS in any way, the current one would be the expected behaviour.
This behaviour might be intended or not, it gives a certain impression, so I have to take the same line as explit and request some more transparency on this matter!
Cheers
