The longer you keep your phone the more lightly it would have tread the earth, so think twice when you want to buy a new phone. Do you really need a new phone? The truth is, the most #sustainable phone is the one you already own – so make it last. 🌍 📱

@Fairphone

Can we just take a moment to appreciate a phone manufacturer telling us not to buy phones so often?

@Fairphone I'll buy a fairphone as my next phone, but my current one is 3 years old and doesn't show any signs of dying yet. :)
@andri
Same, but my 6 year old phone is still fine!
@Fairphone

@Fairphone please sell the core module as spare part, so i would have been able to repair my Fairphone 2 instead of buying a cheaper used phone.

That is still an issue with the Fairphone 3.

@davidak
That is concerning... Still probably not cheaper, but maybe this is what you're looking for? https://www.vireo.de/fairphone/zubehoer/8632/fairphone-2-core-modul

Fairphone 2 Core-Modul

  Mit dem Betriebssystem von Andoid, ist es das Herzstück des Fairphone 2. Hier befinden sich außerdem der Arbeitsspeicher, sowie Prozessor und interner Speicher. Hardware, die klar für die Performance des Fairphone...

@awaspnest it seem they have it in stock again. for me it's 3 years too late...
@Fairphone Yes, the idea is excellent (this is the theory) - but if you can't replace a module because it isn't no longer available in your shop, this is the reality.

@Hiker @Fairphone

They seem pretty well stocked with FP3 and FP2 parts at moment?

Yes, you can repair the Fairphone yourself by ordering spare parts (modules) directly in our shop.

@FediFollows

Fairphone 2 Top Module (5MP) is not available.

@Fairphone

@Hiker @Fairphone

They have 2mp one though? And that's still pretty good for a phone released in 2015.

Most phones you can't even get a spare battery for.

@FediFollows "To make it last" but spare parts are missing - as said: Theory and reality. @Fairphone
@FediFollows

And Fairphone 2 Bottom Module is also not available. Well...

@Fairphone
@Fairphone some phones really try your patience tho, sp sams*ngs
