Re: Why on earth didn't they just use standard components?

"I buy my organic veg from Waitrose and my electrickery from Ecotricity, but my beer comes from Lidl. :)"

the funny thing is that I get the same eco or un eco electricity as you but I have a contract with the cheapest supplier.

My phone runs over the same airwaves and same providers as yours and was purchased in 2014 yet is still supported by the manufacturer,

in fact the manufacturer have already announced their 2013 model (still supported too) will be compatible with their forthcoming next release.

To me it seems that Global manufacturers producing phones on mass already have a better longevity model than FairPhone, who appear to be just another Android shop with a supposed ethical twist.

Sorry.
