Hello Luke,
I am a bit surprized about your harsh reaction, but do not want to open a discussion about fairphone.
You are right, that they started with a task, which is gigantic, but they learned and hopefully will learn more. Some aspects which are for ME important:
- they will offering an update of the os for the fairphone I. I has been hard work as they made mistakes in the beginning, but they succeeded. For my two years old LG-D855 there is no update in sight.
- they offer a google-free android for the fairphone II and it will be possible to install other OSs like Sailfish or Ubuntu mobil. They try to built a community
- they got 10 points on ifixit for the easy way to repair it and their modular construction.
- the are using more conflict free minerals and there are better working conditions in as with the great players.
Do you know any other smartphone, which is a better choicel than the Fairphone?
