    Yeah, loving that blue. My FairPhone 4 needs repair, and getting replacement parts is difficult; I might just wait and trade it in for the FairPhone 5. I kind of need an LCD display, and this looks like the most premium LCD phone we will get this year (i.e. not a three year old Snapdragon 695).

      Huh that sucks. The repairability as an argument for sustainability is not a good one if parts are then not actually available to do repairs. Repairing it during its warranty period is only one half of the coin.

      Also, it would be nice if FairPhone actually teamed up with Otterbox or Poetic or UAG … anybody to provide a ruggedized case this time around. My frame bent and dented and the battery cover is torn.
