Hi all,

A guy at work showed me this site. Looks like it's worth a gander, when you get a minute.

https://www.fairphone.com/

Regardless of the nobility of their cause - £400 for a phone. Nope.

If they can get the networks on board without being gouged, they might be on to something.

That is about the price of a typical mid-range phone, the iPhones and Samsung Galaxy S6 etc. are much more expensive.

In my experience a typical mid-range smartphone is £200-£300.

Please note... I'm not trying to persuade anyone to buy one. I am merely presenting what I found to be an interesting Website.

What I will say is there is more to buying... well, pretty much anything, than just the price. These people look like they are trying to do good, and that can't be a bad thing, can it?

The G should be under 200 quid and is considered one of the best entry level devices...
