I had one too, and that was somewhat to be expected with it being their very first model - especially considering that they did not even design the phone themselves. I currently own the Fairphone 2, and that, too, probably won't last as long as I'd hope. Hell, I'm amazed that your 1 still works. That said, the repairability is great, and I'm confident that it will still last longer than most phones. Still, the main reason I bought them was to support them in their journey towards a phone that does live up to everything they hope they achieve. As they mature, they'll hopefully be in a better position to do so. And if not, they'll at least have shown other manufacturers how to do so.
