There are a lot of comments about technical issues with previous iterations of the Fairphone - but, to be Fair, you can also find a lot of comments about technical issues with any technology (even if it's open-source!) on the internet.
What would be very helpful, and consistent with the ethos of the Fairphone organization (or, at least, what I think it is) would be to provide actual repair data. "n% of devices have had to be replaced entirely, m% of devices have had a technical issues requiring a hardware fix, here's the number of repair requests made per phone generation", etc.
I like the idea of a Fairphone, but I don't want to buy a product that is going not do the thing that it's supposed to, but I also don't want to avoid buying a product that is generally reliable just because I read comments entirely from the users whose devices broke.
