- fakedang 6y agoThat phone looks exceptionally ugly. I'd rather get a Pine Phone.
- SyzygistSix 6y agoAs someone who remembers what the time before cell phones was like, having a hand held pocket phone is still miraculous. A slightly less aesthetically pleasing phone is not a big deal when it reduces the true ugliness in the production chain. That said, I'm also trying to decide between a Fairphone or a Linux phone. There are options. Kind of sad these companies are struggling to stay in business rather than struggling to keep up with demand.
- fakedang 6y agoUnfortunately that's not how most consumers think. As far as phone manufacturing goes, anything that involves electronics will inevitably cause pollution in its life cycle. Even if you're creating the most eco-friendly product, no one will want to use it unless it looks pleasing too. The Pine Phone is that, Virtu is that, but the Fairphone isn't. Even then, Pine Phone and Virtu (maybe not so much) have an uphill battle.
- cbozeman 6y agoI was under the impression Fairphones don't work in America?
- boudin 6y agoThe phone itself is available on Fairphone directly: https://www.fairphone.com/en/ https://www.fairphone.com/en/ It's a really interesting to read some of their blog posts and see their journey. It does prove that trying to do things in a better way in electronics is possible and that companies that have much more money than them have absolutly no excuse not to follow the same path.
- cambalache 6y agoI really liked the idea, then I checked out the prices. Bye bye. I understand the scale is different. I think privacy is/will be another luxury reserved for rich people.
