Since my cell phone will be useless by the end of the year (2G support will be dropped in my country, making the perfectly working mobile phone a paperweight) I am trying to decide what to do.

I don't trust Google, I don't like Apple, and the third party application support for Windows phone isn't exactly overwhelming. Anyway, despite it running on Android I'm considering the Fairphone and hoped to find some information here on dpr, particularly about the camera's capabilities. But all I found were 4 (yeah, that's FOUR) posts that mentioned the Fairphone...

Thus the question: does anybody use the latest Fairphone with the 48MP camera? If you exist, please tell me about your experience with both the phone in general and the camera in particular. Your input is highly appreciated.

It's either not marketed here in the US or I've simply never heard of it so I Googled it.  Nice that they make it as repairable as possible, particularly the battery, and I like the micro-SD slot which Samsung has stripped off of the newest Note.  Seems like there are a lot of compromises in performance & design, not sure I'd like that.  I also have to wonder how long parts will actually be available.
