    Bring back blackberries and physical buttons and linux and hookers and cocaine.

    And phones that don’t shatter when you sneeze at them.

      I bought a Fairphone 3 for the reparability but the damn thing just won’t break! I don’t think I’ve abused any phone as much as the FP but it just keeps chugging along without so much as a tear in the screen.

      I think it’s because of the frame reaching half a mm or so above the screen and the battery cover opening up when I drop it.

        I got a Fairphone 4, thing’s survived many a fall. It’s a Shame that fairphone doesn’t ship spare parts to the US, makes sourcing those parts much harder.

        Fully expect my FP5 to do the full promised 10 years. Maybe a battery replacement eventually? But I am not kind to this phone and it does great
