Shame on your policy of silence!!!

Hey guys!

You're doing a really great work (and I'm talking about the community in this case... the FP-Team doesn't want to be part of this community as it seems)! And you do so, either if we get bad news almost every day. :mad:

It's really a shame, how an self-proclaimed project "that puts social values first" can be so ignorant and unsocial to it's new-born community!

HEY FAIRPHONE?!? JOE... KIM... BAS... AND ALL THE OHTERS!?! DO YOU THINK, YOU CAN TREAT US LIKE THIS? DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DESTROYING HERE??? YOU ARE ON THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT WAY TO KICK YOURE WHOLE PROJECT IN THE CURB!!! DO YOU THINK WITH YOUR CURRENT POLICY OF SCILENCE YOU SOLVE THE MISTAKES YOU HAVE MADE? NO!! THIS WILL MADE IT EVEN WORSE, 'CAUSE NOT EVEN THE PATIENTEST DEVELOPER WILL SUPPORT YOUR PROJECT, IF YOURE DOING SO!!! :mad::mad::mad:

They are not depending on you - but you will be depending on their free and open work, if you want to make your promise true, to built an fair AND OPEN device!

Shame on you for treating an new-born community like this! Is there no one in your team, who thinks a little over the edge of his plate? Do you think about the consequences you are working on to become true?

Sorry for this harsh words, but you have to think about it! Many people here are thinking about an refund! Is that your goal that you want to reach, after the whole hard work you have pushed into this project? I can't believe it!!!

What I can believe is, that this whole project is really hard work for you, and the last weeks weren't easy. What i currently think about you and your team is, that you are quite overstrained... You haven't ever managed and to cope with such a work-intensive project. You hadn't know a lot of things in the beginning - you didn't exactly know what you really got engaged with! There are existent supply-chains you didn't overlook - and there happens things like building another Chipset into your device - contrarian to the one that was promised to you. Suddenly there are Copy-Rights of a company on a code for the bootloader - contrarian to that you have thought about first. To put it in a nutshell and in the words of Laurel and Hardy "That's another fine mess you've gotten us into!"

But in all of this points there is absolutely NO legitimation for your "Policy of Scilence" and as it has been mentioned above for your tactic of passing the buck to your customers that have trusted in you, saying "Sorry... but its your fault, cause you trusted us!". I think it's really your turn to bring a cool mood to your customers. I've always thought that the "Waag Society" and Fairphone is a creative think tank: So be creative in doing an apologize to your supporters!

Stay to your project - defend it! You have to be clear in this point! You have to stay for the values of the project - the SOCIAL values!

So be social and TALK to us!!!

An angry and disappointed supporter (still!) of your project...

EDIT: As I am not expecting an answer on my post from an official part (Fairphone) 'cause I see that Fairphone seems to set on it's policy of scilence (even in their own "official" forums), is there anyone in the community who is from netherland and who is able to make some pressure and getting some more information in calling the guys?

This are the Phone-Numbers that are from the FP-Page: +31 (0)20 557 98 54 ; +31 (0)20 557 98 55

Maybe there is sb who can do that? I can't speak netherlends and my spoken english is not the best, for express a case like this...
