Fairphone

And we, I think we had a great intake.

We had Fairphone, we had Mastodon C, we had the Martin's team who were doing like the energy building, Leaveness, Genergy, what are they called, Genergy? Is that right? something like that um and it it we were just like okay cool right there's other people doing this this is all possible in it in it it kind of supercharged our um our thinking around what was possible i guess um Now, as you know, we were sort of famous for being the only team who didn't write any code during the three months.

But we had absolutely shed loads of market research and spent loads of time on the ground in different hospitals working out exactly what we were going to do.

And those early prototypes of we were going to build an iPhone app, which I still have on my NAS at home because I really enjoy looking back at the old slide decks and being like, you know what? We've basically done what we said we were going to do, essentially.

It sounds very BlackBerry-ish though, BlackBerry OS, where you kind of lock in a communication system with the other people that have got the same system.

I'm sure you must be able to, if you chose to, like with Fairphone, I'm sure you could probably put Google Play services on it if you wanted to,

couldn't you? Yeah, I think so.

You can't do that with the side phone, but maybe you can with this one.

Yeah, it's something I keep an eye on and really in the past like two years specifically has kind of come more to the forefront for me.

Earlier this summer, I reviewed the Fairphone 6, 6 plus, I think.

which is just like highly repairable and you can buy components for it.

You can swap out the back panel just for fun, honestly, to put like a different attachment on it.

And that was a real like, oh, this rules, you know? Like you think about the cost of a phone And if you're owning it for like three or four years, are you going to drop it and pay for that repair? Are you paying for that just by having the AppleCare or whatever it is? Those costs are sort of hidden in a way where a phone like the Fairphone is like, no, you can just buy a new battery from us and put it in yourself.

Obviously, something like the iPhone Duo is going to be much, much more locked down.

But it's great to see that the guide is there if you have the the wherewithal to pry the nanotexture film off of there.

Yeah.

I read in the chat saying he's using EOS on his Fairphone 6 Plus.

Oh, that, I'm sure, is really good.

Oh, yeah, that's Trog.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

SCJ.

I thought it was on the Fairphone.

I wasn't positive.
