- Moldoteck 3y agoSo you thought fp is modular and surprised it's not? The out of stock is indeed a problem, question is, is this a temporary problem or outofstock forever? Fp never afaik promised a modular phone, just a phone with support for more years and easy to repair, not easy to upgrade. Fp4 is directed at new users, not at users of fp3, but you can still(afaik) send them fp3 to recycle and take a new fp4 if you want Modular phone is a wet dream for many, and it can be cool, but afaik bc of complexity it remains just a dream
