Watching FP2 sales has become an OCD! Will they? Won’t they? Sell 15,000 by the end of September?! First week sales averaged around 625 a day - but included all the people who’d been waiting in the traps for the starting gun. Over the last three weeks sales averaged 124 a day. 51 days to go = …

The JSON counter is still reachable. However I I’m not able to verify whether it is still updated. Right now it stands at 17604. I’ll check later whether it still works. Update after 2 hours (at 20:50h): So far the counter has not changed. Update after 15 hours (at 10:00h the following day): The c…

[quote=“Vinni, post:232, topic:9478, full:true”] We urgently need a “buy now” button somewhere in the shop!![/quote][image] Thank you (: @jftr : I think they just have some more important things to do right now than working with the counter. Maybe they need to work on the solution for an unexpecte…

Aren’t they producing a batch of ~140,000 units now? I mean, their cost breakdown (and thus the price) was based on selling 140,000 units. If they would only produce 17,000 units now and produce more based on demand, then they could not reach the 140,000 units and thus had to spread fixed costs ove…

I just noticed that the shop front page has an additional line about “Expected Delivery in December 2015”. Special edition buyers might still get theirs in November. IF that is the case, it might suggest that production will not be all “in one go”. In addition, I wonder if the costs of storing 100,0…

Well if they started production in October and started delivering in mid-November, delivered the first 15.000 phones by the end of November than the first not special edition phones would start being delivered in December. I think it sounds realistic that producing 15.000 phones could take a month,…

The numbers might be similar to the ones of FP1U production like in this blog post… https://www.fairphone.com/2014/07/25/second-batch-delivery-begins/

I think in a project like this with an entirely new product like the one they developed, they might not want to take the risk of producing a huge batch of phones maybe with the same flaw. I could well imagine that they split their 140,000 phones into 2 or three batches.

I would assume that Fairphone will deliver in significantly bigger chunks this time. If they would deliver at the speed from back then, the final Special Edition buyers would be served by mid- to late December (assuming optimistically that delivery starts in early November) – but then the current “E…

I appreciate hugely what Fairphone is doing, but at the same time I wonder why a company that values transparency so highly has a forum full of people who spend hours and hours fishing for clues at to how the company is operating. Couldn’t one of Fairphone’s 34 employees spend 10 minutes a day comm…
