I’m fed up of mine. The random bugs I get haven’t occurred with any other phone I’ve had. It’s all well and good telling me go and trawl through this forum and the other but I shouldn’t have to regularly waste my time doing that. My eight-month old phone should just… work. I’m a physicist that works in climate science, I’m far from technologically inept but I don’t want to spend my life e.g. researching a new OS.
I really, really wanted it to be worthwhile and was willing to compromise on performance for it. Not quality. Sometimes I feel like Fairphone relies, in an almost cult-like manner, on the people who buy it to be willing to put up with anything. And it’s worked, because on principle I will not just chuck it in and get a new one, I will persevere to avoid the waste. I feel ripped off though.
