Holy cow! When did that happen? Anyone with precise statistics?
Woah, we could actually do this!
It was 12,300 something about an hour ago, so either:
- Somebody has just made a huge order, perhaps a mobile operator; or
- Some orders hadnât been counted, perhaps orders made directly through FP rather than the shop; or
- Payment for a certain gateway has only now been released
Probably the first option.
Is it just me or was this like: âoh, well, now itâs easy peasy, of course theyâll reach 15 000!â like itâs the most obvious thing in the world?
Resellers bought the phone !
âVireo in Germany, Sinndrin in Switzerland and ETC in Swedenâ.
Always said we needed some bigger dealers to pile in.
But if that sudden burst of 1500 orders is a one off ⌠still need to sell 216 a day for the next 7 days - and over the last two weeks the daily average has been around 120 a day.
If I were a booky I wouldnât be paying out quite yet ⌠but it IS looking hopeful.
The next week will be interesting, as most people are paid in the final week of the month (my pay day is tomorrow - woo). If people have been holding off to order, this is when theyâll do it.
I am so pleased to see the number so enorm go up. Not just for me, as well as for Fairphone and the people behind it. At moment I am on holiday and i am so additted to follow the numbersâŚ
Did you take a holiday just for following the counter?
Yes exactly. I am in national naturepark Weerribben-Wieden. Itâs so beautiful here. Thereâs no signal to use the handy. No decent radio- and televisionsignal. Only the wifi in the hotel is good.
Whut? It happened again! The counter just jumped up to 14.577
AHAH ! Youhouuu, they did it we did it !
CONGRATULATIONS FAIRPHONE TEAM ! youâre the best.
Few hundreds, theyâll make it in the next days !
Actually, to those who were waiting : you better hurry now these last few ones will fly off !
Bangerang!
@Fred I donât believe they will stop at 15â000 but continue selling until October comes
Great news. After buying and then selling a FP1U last year (which I now regret) I pre-ordered today and got order number 13953.
I have a feeling today will be the day! Only 284 phones to go!
And another FP2 sold 8-).
280 to go.
tick tick tick
edit: I have a question regarding this page: https://www.fairphone.com/we-are-fairphone/ - are new Facebook / Twitter / Instagram-posts with hashtag #wearefairphone added automatically or is it done by hand? Am surprised that no one is doing the countdown there.
275 to go. I just tweeted about it:

Edit: WOW, Discourse handles Tweets automatically now!!!
PS: It does not display on the social media wall yet, so at least it takes some time, if it is not moderated by FP staff. I highly think though, that they select, what is displayed and what not.
Maybe we have to wait a few more days until payments arrive
I am quite shocked!
First they take the star logo, then they censor the social media wall.
Whatever will happen next?

(btw, now 267 fp2 to goâŚ)
