This means that they can also get away with charging very low prices for their products. PinePhone is the first Linux smartphone that I wanted to buy, simply because it's so cheap and I won't weep if it fails.
- mrtweetyhack 5y agoyou'll weep if it fails in a month
- selfhoster11 5y agoEven if it had functioning warranty, it would cost me at least half of the original price to post the item to them for repairs (it's halfway across the world). That's not a win, really.
- BugWatch 5y agoI also highly recommend their Pinecil soldering iron, as well as tabletop power supply. Amazing value for the money.
- Fnoord 5y agoI got the tabletop power supply. Its nice though itgot easily scratched on the OLED. But if it breaks now (its a few months old) it is bye bye money. Cause that 1 month warranty is for all their products, no matter the price. 400 EUR e-ink notebook and Pinephone Pro included.
- selfhoster11 5y agoAt least you get a breakable version of a product, rather than stay locked out of the product category entirely due to the cost.
- Fnoord 5y agoI get about 2 years warranty and 5 years security updates on my Fairphone, am allowed and able to run whatever OS on it which I want, and I can replace broken modules myself, or upgrade modules.
- drewzero1 5y agoI have and use both the TS100 and the Pinecil. The Pinecil is a bit thicker than the TS100 and takes a few more seconds to heat up, but for the money it would be hard to justify buying a TS100 again.
