Regarding ports, @r0kk3rz, have you read this?
I guess this means, people who are interested to port something will get support in some way. Iām still waiting for the promised blog post.
The bootloader will be open. That means, it will be definitely possible to get root access.

Hi,
Iām not sure about that. Does it really mean
It will be possible to get root access our does it mean it will be possible to install another OS on it (witch midst include the drivers of all used components to offer all functions)?

Hi there,
I was wondering if there was any information about the cost breakdown, can any fairphone insider give us (me) a hint on the cost breakdown availability? I hope I can place an order after consulting the cost breakdown, before the end of September and before the first 15000 are sold 
. Thank you very much.
All we know is that the cost breakdown will be available āsoonā. I guess that means well before November 
This is the same thing: If you can install another OS, you can just install Android with root access.

ā¦presuming that an Android ROM with root access is being made available. I guess it is possible to modify Android yourself and then load the rooted version, but if you are not capable of doing this yourself, you are still dependent on Fairphone or a third party.
@r0kk3rz You could contact them and ask for a Prototype to test with.

Thanks, but I think I will wait patiently for their code drop as that will give me a better idea of how feasible this actually is.
Plus Sailfish 2.0 will be released in a few weeks, and Jolla have announced they have a working HAL for Snapdragon 800 series devices which may help this cause.

Hi, does anyone know if the payment is taken straight away? Iām desperate for the FP2 but just donāt have the funds to pay at the moment. How long will sale continue for?
The idea is that they will sell the phone continuesly. If you preorder now, you help them kickstarting production. But they will go through regardless of how many people order a Fairphone 2. Following that they want to sell 100k phones each year.
That means you should not worry about your current financial status. Just wait until you have enough funds and order it than. Ordering now only has the advantage of getting the phone as early as possible. Ordering after production started in November doesnāt automatically mean that you donāt have to wait for shipment, since there could we a waiting list until then.
What I gathered from news articles, the community event, and the website is, that Fairphone is in contact with some OS providers. Jolla is a good candidate for that. So maybe we donāt even need community involvement to make it happen.

That is the best option for everyone, then we might get the android compatibility layer and OTA updates .etc
But the Jolla guys are very busy as of late, with loads of stuff going on so its conceivable that they actually donāt have time for projects like the Fairphone 2.
