And Fairphone?

[KimHansenDenmark]

Hi Kim, thanks very much for joining! And thank you, too, for your straightforward response to the existing objections against closed-source chipsets.

Most of us are willing to accept that, in these initial stages of developing a uniquely fairer phone, some temporary modesty might have to be shown, alas.

Hence, this majority of enthusiasts will put faith in statements like yours, above, that such criticism will, in some time, still find its way into further architectural improvements.

I suppose we all hope you'll keep listening to this devoted followers' base, helping to find the best translations possible of all that aspiration, into smart, fair, open and highly sympathetic design...

In other words, please keep up the great work and thanks for checking in!

Hi DozerD,

Thanks for your positive comments and support!

FairPhone is a story. The first chapter has been a bit closed in regards to community involvement. We believe and hope the next step will be much more open.

We want and need the ideas and critics from the community. I will do my best to listen, respond and take into account everything I hear from the community.

This is very much a learning process for us as well.

I already ordered a FairPhone. But I'm not so interested in Firefox OS, rather in porting the FairPhone OS (which will be based on Android but with some modifications) to other devices and porting some Custom ROMs (I'm thinking of RootBox and SuperNexus cause they're my favorites) to FairPhone. And I'll make lots of videos about it on YouTube (Unboxing, tests, comparisons with other phones and so on...)

I'll order one too fpr Christmas I think, if so I'll follw you very carefully!!

What about the FairPhone project? Anyone interested? I like to see Firefox OS on this device in future, does anyone have my same idea?

I am interested. :good:

peoples are you all aware that until mediathek releases the source code for the bootloader and for the kernel there won't be possible to port any ROM or OS to the Fairphone? take a look on the technical thread and maybe sign the petition

Got mine today. Honestly, the camera is crap, but I expected much more problems than that.
I really like my FairPhone.

And after I turned it on the first thing that popped up was a SuperSU-Window telling me, that root works. Can't be better.

It looks like a decent phone, although I do think it seems rather run of the mill. I appreciate their commitment to being transparent. This is really lacking in the electronics industry in my opinion. I will not be buying one since it is out of the price range I am looking for and since it is incompatible with my service provider. I'm interested in how this project (if I can call it that) will pan out in the future though.
